Disorient

Welcome to

Disorient is a camp at Burning Man

Disorient has been a camp at Burning Man since 2001. 2015 is the year of the Crescent at Disorient. Our camp's superficie is 170,000+ sq. ft. at 8:00 & Esplanade. In front, the Teatro di Sorient is our interactive center crowned by the Disorient Sign. Arches of the Teatro lead into the Dome in which a new cuvée of Disorient sound will be served. The Bedouin Tech Lounge organized by the Disorient Dubai Cell will host camp feasts and shisha sunsets. The Duke's will be hard to find but very rewarding. Our fleet of art cars (7 and counting) will insure proper disorientation over Black Rock City.

In addition to our residents we invite DJs to play on our sound system. During the week of Burning Man, we set-up a live music stage and invite bands to perform.

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, geodesic domes, inflatable structures, video, repurposed objects, black lights and vehicles. We develop software for our installations (DMX sequencing, MAX, Java, C, etc.). 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 events

When we are not on the Playa, we organize events and happenings to raise funds for our art projects on and off playa and support Burning Man. 100% of profit is reinvested in Disorient.
Every year we organize Country Club upstate New York and Bedouin Tech in the desert of Dubai. Both outdoor events last several days and are aligned with the Burning Man ethos.



In 2009 we organized our first fundraisers outside the US in Brazil and Argentina; in 2014, Dubai.

Thousands of DOers (DisOrienters) have camped with Disorient at Burning Man since 2001. They're about 40% US East Coast, mostly NYC and Philadelphia, 20% West Coast/Central US and 40% outside the US, including members in the UK, Russia, Israel, Canada, Hong Kong, Sweden, France, Argentina, Japan, Lithuania, Brazil, Australia, Dubai and Germany. We use The Puddle and other social networks to stay connected.

Too Much Is Rarely Enough.
