Disorient
Welcome to Disorient!
Live green. Burn Pornj.
Our next event: GLAMTECH
Disorient is an art collective. We create art projects and art installations with hardware including wood, scaffolding, LEDs, geodesic domes, inflatable structures, video, repurposed objects and vehicles. We develop software for our installations (DMX sequencing, MAX, Java...).
Disorient is a camp at Burning Man. In 2007 Disorient adds a new member to its fleet. The Rex is a 60 ft. articulated, blinking monster complete with Dj booth, Pornj lounge and new sound system. Some call it the D-Rex. The Disorient Express (Dex + Rex) has been running on biodiesel since 2006 and is now, for the first time, long enough to carry the entire Disorient Sign on deep Playa adventures. Get ready for new levels of GlamTech disorientation! On the Playa, public and private areas of Disorient are separate. The Disorient Express will be mobile and public while the camp as described in the Urban Plan will be more private and soothing.
Urban plan
Disorient is also about sound and performance. In addition to our residents we invite DJs to play on our sound system. During the week of Burning Man, usually on Thursday, we set-up a live music stage and invite bands to perform. When we are not on the Playa, we organize parties to raise funds for our camp and for the Burning Man Organization.
As of May 2007, Disorient has over 400 members, 70% US East Coast (New York City mostly), 20% US West Coast (CA, OR, WA) and 10% outside the US, including members in the UK, Canada, Hong Kong, Sweden, France, Israel, Russia, and Germany. We stay connected through our discussion board: The Puddle.
