Description
A futuristic musical space odyssey with Electroluxx, Comfort&Joy, Recess, and BAAAHS! 100% of funds go to building Event Horizon on Playa!
Pass beyond the Event Horizon in this musical space odyssey: a sonic journey with two stages of futuristic house and techno music, featuring a partial build of Event Horizon! This colossal, music-reactive, gyroscopic LED dance floor will be illuminating the darkness at Black Rock City for its first time this year, and you’ll get a sneak peak of our progress on Saturday, with its 20ft tall light wall set up inside The Great Northern!
We're collaborating with Electroluxx, Recess, Comfort & Joy, and BAAAHS to raise funds to finish building this titanic art project. 100% of net proceeds from this event go toward buying hundreds of parts, nearly 4000lb of aluminum and steel, and enough LEDs to stretch from Castro to Van Ness station - everything we need to build this absurdly large gyroscope!
The party will be serving the same sense of cosmic sci-fi beauty evoked by the kinetic sculpture itself. On-theme outfits encouraged, or come as you are and see where the gravitational pull of our cosmological beats take you. We’ve got a stacked lineup of DJs from BAAAHS, Glamcocks, and Electroluxx to keep us grooving all night.
See you in the cosmos 🌌
Event Horizon will be a three-story-tall, audio-reactive LED kinetic sculpture evoking a sense of cosmic beauty. Five concentric rings chaotically spin like a gyroscope 30 ft in the air, covered by over a mile of LEDs which illuminate the darkness of Black Rock City. Beneath the rings is a partially enclosed space surrounded by shimmering walls of light - a space to reflect, a space to wonder, or a space to dance. The entire sculpture is also audio reactive: when it hears a nearby musical presence like an art car, it converts into a cosmological dance floor that pulses to the beat!
