Flux Foundation

Last year one of the greatest experiences I had at the renegade campout was a completely unexpected drone show, funded by some kind and generous individuals.

This year, another group of generous renegade burners are looking to put on the same show but 5x better!

They are looking to keep the free burn/renegade spirit alive by making this show even more impressive.

As attendees of the renegade camp out, while we enjoy the freedom of not having to pay for vehicle passes or tickets or permits, we also all share a sense of community spirit. By contributing to this show, you get to contribute completely of your own free will. Give nothing, share this link for support, or donate generously. You can do whatever you would like!

100% of proceeds go on to the Flux Foundation who is putting the show on for coving their costs associated with Staff, Equipment, and all necessary safety equipment.

More information about Flux Foundation: The mission of the Flux Foundation is to engage people in designing and building large-scale public art as a catalyst for education, collaboration and empowerment.

Flux is a 501(c)3 so your donation may be able to be used against your taxes.

Please consider donating now, the more we raise, the more spectacular the show.

See you all out there in the dust!

Folly Builders present Paradisium ✨

debuting at Burning Man 2022… welcome to the journey!

 

A grove of patterned trees emerges from the playa, covered in exotic flora, playful birds, and wiley squirrels... dreamers lounge and meditate among the trunks while explorers play in the canopy... you’ve found Paradisium!

 

Paradisium is a thriving ecosystem, a forest rising from the ashes of The Folly, an oasis growing from the alkaline lake bed, a destination not to be missed. The geometric trees, built mostly out of recycled and reclaimed wood, support an interconnected canopy, while meandering pathways lead to an opening in the center creating a labyrinth of wonder.

 

Visitors can climb the larger trees into the catwalks above, with views of flowers blooming in the branches and beyond to deep playa. While under the shade of the canopy, you can catch glimpses of the art and magic hidden within the tree trunks.

 

 

 

Philosophy & Sustainability Commitments

The effects of climate change are becoming increasingly obvious in every corner of our planet. While we might sometimes feel like our individual actions don’t amount to much; as a collective - we can make a difference! Reducing consumption, reusing & repurposing, moving towards renewables, and planting more trees can help to create a positive and lasting impact!

 

Paradisium reminds us of the forest's beauty, our interconnectedness and our interdependence with nature while fostering a sense of community and an investment in our shared future.

 

How our Teams are supporting our Sustainability Goals

Paradisium is being built primarily out of reclaimed lumber crowdsourced in the Bay Area (the Folly was built using 50% reclaimed materials). Our engineering team is designing the modular trees with efficient transportation in mind to decrease the number of truck loads. Our lighting and soundscape teams are designing with efficiency in mind and with the goal to be fully solar-powered during the event. Our logistics team is keeping close track of materials to determine our carbon footprint and we plan to offset our impacts through planting trees in partnership with Art for Trees .

 

Help us meet these goals by donating to support Paradisium and help build the forest!
