a sparkling Siadek stands proud in front of the sensatron
The Sensatron 5000 is a time machine from the future, so hold on tight!
We’re using the Cubatron LED technology along with programming and sensors to create a huge visualizer, that hangs the lights like an umbrella around the perimeter of the car to translate the sounds and movements we experience into light!
It was very simple, just a multi-leveled lounging platform, with an umbrella-esque structure looming above, like an umbrella with just the wires and no fabric, and it had strings of big multi-colored lights hanging down from the tips of each umbrella wire. As it drove across the playa, the dangling lights would sorta dance and bounce.
It’s hard to put into words the meaningfulness of the piece to me, but if you watched it jangle across the playa from a distance, it was the same image/movement as had been in some dreams right before Burning Man, directing me toward a different energy in my life. Part of my growth and healing, so to say. I saw it in so many different places throughout the week (unlike other cars, which I seemed to only spot once or twice), and it was always at very opportune times. You know, synchronistic and such.
