Synesthesia – A Burning Man Project

OVERVIEW/GOALS

The main installation at Synesthesia is a sculpture/stage-installation called Life Springs. It is a 25′ series of platonic solids nested in on each other inside of an 80′ geodesic dome. Our camp will host 5 days and nights of interactive art, downtempo music, visuals, lighting, workshops, healing, and performances. Each day will focus on a particular platonic solid, its elemental component, associated color, and corresponding musical (over)tone. Each day will be dedicated to exploring our relationships with the platonic solids, these building blocks of our universe, and the elements associated with each: earth, wind, water, fire and ether.

  • Tetrahedron: Fire–>Red
  • Cube/Hexahedron: Earth–>Green
  • Octahedron: Air–>White
  • Icosahedron: Water–>Blue
  • Dodecahedron: Ether/Cosmos>All Colors/No Color!
    [Ether is transparent, embodies all colors or no color]

“There are many spiritual beliefs associated with the Flower of Life; for example, depictions of the five Platonic Solids are found within the symbol of Metatron’s Cube, which may be derived from the Flower of Life pattern. These platonic solids are geometrical forms which are said to act as a template from which all life springs” [from the Wikipedia page for Flower of Life].

Life Springs will be the site for workshops and conferences by day, and a stage for downtempo-music acts, performances, and dancing by night. Springs (fresh water) not only provide the source for continuity of life in an area, they function spiritually as a source of cultural identity, sites for ritual and renewal.

We see Synesthesia itself as a sort of spring; we wish to offer our camp as an oasis on the playa for burners looking for a refreshing yet vibrant, warm space offering ritual and rejuvenation. Here, burners can gather together for grounded celebration and sensory exploration.

We will offer:

  • a meditative/sacred space dome for ritual, ceremony and quiet meditation
  • a downtempo sound and visual environment with our Life Springs installation
  • Cymatics demonstrations
  • Live Painting, Photography
  • Sound healing sessions
