“I know this has become a cliche about Burning Man, but my trajectory as an artist has been shaped by the idea of working intensely with creative communities in the implementation of monumental, immersive, and interactive sculpture.” “I attended Burning Man for the first time in 2002, and it changed my life,” said Sean. It is an immersive and interactive sculptural interpretation of the Nautilus submarine from Jules Vernes "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea." Engineered Artworks Orlando and the Five Ton Crane Arts Group. The Nautilus (2011) is an artistic experiment and collaborative creation of Christopher Bently, Sean.
These components are attached to or encased within a skeletal structure, with an airline tow tractor as the base vehicle the final piece involved the collaboration of hundreds of artists, engineers, and technologists and weighs over 14 tons with the capability to transport 20 people on the playa.” “In the case of Elektra, creating this dream involved designing and producing flexible, UV-resistant polycarbonate scales with embedded LEDs as well as a 3D mapping system for lighting design, engineering pneumatics for fully extendable and retractable wings, and integrating a state-of-the-art sound system as well as fire effects.
“I am an immersive artist who works in monumental dimensions, so I’m always seeking to use engineering and technology to create rich, vibrant sculptural environments for people to explore,” he adds. “We wanted to push the envelope of what was possible in scale and movement, to make something dynamic and lifelike.” “The goal with Elektra was to push the envelope of what was possible and use all resources available to produce a massive, spectacularly-illuminated fire-breathing creature poised to pounce or take flight,” says Sean. by lead artist: Sean Orlando Sean Orlando Designer Sean Orlando (Elektra Dragon) It's like an 1800’s western city with a water tank that will look over the city.”Įlektra built for Burning Man 2019 in Oakland, CA. We are also building the Y Knot Saloon Camp.
We've got old photos of my own ancestors and their connection to the west and it's very personal. When you see this up close, it's a really authentic western saloon with tin ceilings, wallpaper and furniture from the 1800s. Then we added flamethrowers, and all sorts of features. We built during the pandemic and we made it more complex by adding hydraulics so we could reduce the deployment costs. “For me the west always conjured up images of optimism, adventure and new beginnings. JP Conte explained his inspiration and design of his western themed vehicle, “It’s about being optimistic about the future and new beginnings” he said. And art is one of the things I'm truly passionate about.” It's incumbent on people with means to help fund things they are passionate about. “I think art is one of the few things that separates humanity from the animal kingdom. “I'm supporting not only my own project, but several other projects at Burning Man” he adds. I had never seen anything like it, so I decided I wanted to go. As a gearhead, I was immediately fascinated by what the artists build. I started thinking about Burning Man, when a friend of mine went in 1999, which was at that time a small Burning Man Festival. "I've been to Burning Man for years,” she said. I spoke with Alexandra about her history with Burning Man and her favorite memories. Till then, you can order Mutant Vehicles - Art on Wheels at Burning Man here. Her dramatic and cinematic photos have been featured in three books she has published: "The World's Fastest Place," and "Mutant Vehicles." Alexandra is working on a second book about Mutant Vehicles. Over the last decade, she built a substantial reputation in fine art photography.
