ART INSTALLATIONS
Ars Pristinus *
While preparing the area for Apogaea 2010, DPW workers came across a strange metal form buried in the dirt. Thinking it was old farm or mining equipment, they started to dig it up. Quickly it became apparent the object was not something as mundane as farm equipment, but was possibly the most exciting thing any of them had ever seen. Questions and theories began to fly. It was a weapon. No, a communications antenna. No, an altar. No, a power source. It had been buried for hundreds of years. Thousands. Millions? Nate Harris [email protected] http://phoenixasylum.org/artists/nate

How will the contribution of each individual – which stands alone as its own work of art – fit together into a larger expressive whole?

Faeu Boulanger *
The Faeu Boulanger resembles a flickering lamp that seductively beckons unwary nighttime travelers from afar. This shimmering elemental lures lost souls into a state of restful relaxation, induces spells of hypnagogic visions, and traverses the bounds of dream consciousness. Gazing upon the Rolling Fire spirit with eyes closed reveals what is truly within. The experience may be quite intense for some. But to escape from it, one need only to open one’s eyes. CAUTION: Potential risk for those with photosensitive epilepsy. Contact: Milkman Amok – [email protected]
Front Porch Project *
The front porch project wants you to come on up and help yourself to a cool glass of lemonade while we catch up on some neighborhood gossip from the comfort of our rockers. See what the whipper-snappers are wearing and pinch the baby’s cheeks. Just another afternoon on the porch. Stop by and say hi or stay forever. When we say don’t forget to stop and smell the roses, we’re serious. The Front Porch Project
Galactivation Station *
The Multi-Dimensional Galactivation Station is full blown super sensory experience of light, sound, touch and play. It’s 10′ equilateral square pyramid surrounded by the fabric of space time, a stretch mesh netting which when combined with a laser using a linear diffraction filter creates iridescent 3 dimensional topographic map patterns which morph and shapeshift into different geometric topographies as the fabric is pushed, pulled, twisted, and fondled. Sensors embedded in the netting pick up any motion or play in the nets and activate extraterrestrial synthesized sounds which wiggle and throb organic alien sounds in full proportion to the motion of the nets. The sound in turn activates full color LED lighting completely lining the entire installation creating a fully immersive torrent of color and light pulsing all around you when you are inside this piece all of which pulse and throb in complete resonance with the sounds produced. Each face of the installation produces a different synthesized sound allowing for a full amorphous musical collaboration between all the people playing on the different faces of the installation. You don’t just play with this installation, you play with everyone else playing with this installation.
Geo 10 *
I*m creating a dynamic dome which has been inspired the by music, people, & nature. It can interact with people, track the sun, & also be controlled by music. Geo10 will open and close allowing light, air, & music to encapsulate the space inside and out. [email protected]

Root of our Dissatisfaction *
“Root of our Dissatisfaction” Julia DeMarines This piece compares Westernized culture vs. Eastern. The 1st tree with outstretched arms as branches, whose roots wrap around a transparent sphere filled with Western materialistic icons, represents the dissatisfaction of Americans. In contrast to the content second tree whose roots are wrapped around a sphere of water. This piece will encourage onlookers to write their own wants and desires to be added to the Western sphere. The confessions will be added to the sphere of the Western tree and to the final burn to bolster simplicity as a means of freedom and true happiness. “The root cause of our dissatisfaction is that our dormant loving propensity has not been fulfilled despite our great advancement in the materialistic way of life. – His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja

Terraphone *
Out in the woods, your cell phone won’t get four bars. Google maps won’t be much help if you get lost. And no one on Twitter cares about the neat rock you just found.

Be sure to tell her all about the birds and the bees, the scenic views, the mountains, and the trees. James Reagent & Brandon Fields [email protected] [email protected]
