From our friends at 28thday and Freek Factory, Actuate takes place at Grand Space--site of the legendary Bass Nymphos Ball, the debut collaboration between Disorient and Freek Factory. Besides the Freeks, creative input from Disorientals includes belly dancing by Sera (11PM) and visuals by Spot. DJ Manny from Austin hits the Big Apple to follow up his foot-shaking BM2006 set on the Disorient Express. After Actuate, he'll grace the decks at 8 for an encore (~9AM).<BR>

Reduced admission to 8 is available to attendees of Actuate, where password-stamped flyers will be available. You can bring one to the door at 8 for $20 admission (standard price is $40).  Or, you can [http://www.28thday.com/lists/lt.php?id=LBoCVQ1UDQ0fAAoaAwcCUQ%3D%3D purchase a combination presale ticket from 28thday] for $80, which includes admission to both events (standard price at the door is $115-$125).

Actuate NYE @ Grand Space'''<BR><BR>


11 hours of NYE revelry at a classic psychedelic loft party in Brooklyn!  Featuring a fully loaded trance lineup on the main floor, and rooftop by Freek Factory!  Perched high above the swirling hysterics of the psyfloor, this rooftop sanctuary will offer a more contemplative space to dance, socialize, and reflect.  The roof will be fully enclosed and heated -- come enjoy immunity to the elements on our own private rooftop!<BR><BR>
At night, the [[Club_House|Club House]] transformed into an illuminated beacon, featuring glimmering LEDs on the DISORIENT sign and Helios bars, incandescent Pornj lighting, and a sky-high laser programmed to spell out D-I-S-O-R-I-E-N-T in Morse code. DISORIENT music played all week long through a pristine sound system, with the Wayward Teahouse offering a peaceful respite from the revelry during three late-night parties.<BR>

You can help us continue to have a Rubulad in this space by being
quiet coming and going, staying inside the space during the event and
not pissing all over the sidewalk as soon as you get around the corner
– which, incidentally, does attract the police and they will write you
a summons.<BR><BR>
 
The less our neighbors have to complain about, the more fun we can have.<BR><BR>
 
Please don't respond to this email. For contact use chris at spill dot

Happy holidays from your Rubulad.<BR>

Disorient is a camp at Burning Man

Disorient has been a camp at Burning Man since 2001.

Highlights from the previous physical BM (2019)

In 2019 Disorient was at Esplanade & 2:15. Camp was 200 ft. wide by 400 ft. long.

AmpdYogaBM19.jpg

We debuted the Club House, our new pentagon-shaped multi-story pallet rack frontage structure complete with Pornj velvet couches and GlamTech decor. By day, the Club House served as a performance space for our Dry Lakebed Synchronized Swimming Team and shaded haven for Amp'd yogis, who were treated to Frozen Minty Towels after their invigorating practice.

SignOnWheelsBM2019.jpg

At night, the Club House transformed into an illuminated beacon, featuring glimmering LEDs on the DISORIENT sign and Helios bars, incandescent Pornj lighting, and a sky-high laser programmed to spell out D-I-S-O-R-I-E-N-T in Morse code. DISORIENT music played all week long through a pristine sound system, with the Wayward Teahouse offering a peaceful respite from the revelry during three late-night parties.

Di19ORI.BM19.1.jpg ENT.BM19.1.jpg

Across the Esplanade, our Art Car Dock was the home base for the D’enT and the Dang Gang, which together made up the Sign On Wheels. These spectacular Mutant Vehicles transported both participants and the D19ORIENT Video Sign — 1.2 million pixels of LEDs programmed with mesmerizing video art — on unforgettable journeys across the playa.

The immersive Fire Defractor installation served as a lighthouse of sorts, where participants could enjoy ambient sound and holographic sculptures in a plush lounge space. Fire and flow artists from DISORIENT and the Ministry of Flow teamed up for two special performances: the full dress rehearsal for the Fire Conclave and an open fire jam set to a special musical lineup.

Disorient2019Blinkies.jpg D19ORIENTcampPhotoBM19.jpg

Within camp, a regulation shuttlecock court encouraged 24/7 sleizure play with Pornj racquets and LED-illuminated birdies.

During daily DISORIENT-it-Yourself workshops in the Dis|Co Lounge, special guest artists taught participants to make resin jewelry, illuminated headwear, LED blinkie pendants, holographic sculptures, and silk-screened t-shirts. This was also the site of the Pornj Costume Swap on Monday night, where camp exchanged hundreds of Pornj and Glam Tech costume items and accessories.

On Tuesday, DISORIENT hosted the Cultural Collaborators Cocktail Party, a celebration of those who help spread Burning Man culture around the world. DISORIENT was the first Theme Camp ever to host this special event, which is a reflection of the extraordinary contributions our collective makes in Black Rock City and beyond.

We followed this up with another legendary iteration of the Tuesday night BBQ, a multi-meat feast (and family reunion) that was not to be missed. Our beloved speakeasy Duke’s returned once again, serving up freshly made cocktails, late-night jams from the Morning Fucking Dews and some very special guests, and its incomparable brand of playa magic.

Members of the DISORIENT community built art beyond the borders of camp, including the large-scale interactive Archaeopteryx installation and whimsical Deep Tea cart.

In deep playa, the Temple of Brad Pitt — this year’s iteration of the Geodesic Temple — invited participants to briefly experience what it is to be the famous Hollywood actor. Thanks to a top-notch burn crew and tight perimeter of 70+ DISORIENTers, TOBRIT burned late on Friday night, leaving behind only the steel Ark and memories of brattpitizations past. This was the perfect lead-in to two very special burns: the explosive Man burn on Saturday night, and the visually stunning Temple of Direction burn on Sunday night.

Disorient is a collective

Disorient is a sound, visual and performance art collective. We create art projects and art installations with hardware including wood, scaffolding, palette rack, containers, recycled materials, your body, Raspberry Pi, geodesic domes, inflatable structures, video, repurposed objects, black lights and vehicles. We develop software for our installations. Our guiding principles are outlined in the Disorient Model and in the Political Economy of Disorient. Disorient is an open creative platform powered by love.

Our contribution to the vernacular includes Pornj and GlamTech.

Disorient ecosystem

When we are not on the Playa, we organize events, retreats and happenings to raise funds for our art projects on and off playa and support Burning Man. 100% of profit is reinvested in Disorient.
Those include Country Club (since 2011) upstate New York, Bedouin Tech (2014-2018) in the desert of Dubai and Fun Tsang (since 2016) on the beach of a tiny uninhabited tropical island of Hong Kong. Those outdoor camping retreats last several days and are aligned with the Burning Man ethos. In September 2021 we organized the first Burning Mantap in Bali, Indonesia.

Our first fundraisers outside the US happened in 2009 in Brazil and Argentina

Thousands of DOers (DisOrienters) have camped with Disorient at Burning Man since 2001. About half of those campers are in the US. The other half is distributed in dozens of other countries. We use social networks to stay connected.
