ROLE: Art Director
I came onboard the Airship after the initial concept and buildout of the upper wooden ship, but it’s cloud and balloon design wasn’t working so well aesthetically or for the crew. It wasn’t an easy set-up or breakdown - quite dangerous actually! Also, the DMV (department of mutant vehicles) at Burning Man was not impressed with the way we covered the base vehicle. So we took some time to redesign (and fundraise) a new concept. I loved the idea of a Steampunk Ship flying through the clouds and imagined it as an immersive experience - that passengers on the ship could be transformed into an intergalactic Victorian-era cyberpunk ship floating on clouds complete with a 50k watt sound system to keep us bobbing along well into the evening. It holds about 40+ people on the roof top deck (the main floor) complete with a cuddle puddle in the hull I fabricated and sewed - large enough cushions for 10-12 people to snuggle on complete with Victorian-era fabric, of course.
