Preparation
The realization of our social sculpture.August 18, 2017
After our successful test, we are now disassembling the dome again. Furthermore, the tubes and panels arrived today. So we have got everything ready for our journey to Black Rock Desert.
August 17, 2017
Finally, we are test-assembling the dome in the largest DIY industrial art space in the Bay Area in Oakland, California. It is exciting to see our work in full scale and we cannot wait to experience the Burning Man with it.
August 15, 2017
A local CNC company in Hayward, California is cutting the pieces for our structure. We have to drill the holes and sand the surface down to get all parts ready for assembling.
August 14, 2017
Our Engineering Team continues their work here in the United States. Let’s collect the shipment and illuminate the dome.
August 12, 2017
A lot of stuff to do here in the United States. We are visiting hardware stores and car rental companies around the Bay Area to help bringing our dome to the desert.
August 11, 2017
Finally, the first team members have arrived in San Francisco. Our batteries are charged and our memory cards are ready to be filled.
August 08, 2017
The first group of our team is going to leave Germany tomorrow…we are excited!
August 05, 2017
We are ready to ship the materials.

Our shipping problem is getting very serious. Hopefully we find a solution in the next few days.
July 30, 2017
At the moment, the Construction Team is gluing the panels for our dome’s surface. We have to send them to the US soon!
July 29, 2017
The current mirror work continues. As soon as the Engineering Team has finished their prototype, they will be able to test some programming and how the lighting system is going to interact with the playa.
