The nebulous vortex cylindrical collar has yet to be developed and built. In the meantime, we’re utilizing the original firetruck lights mounted behind the cab.
Yes, there are wings and extensive and dazzling lighting! External seating and bike storage for inter-galactic travelers were up for grabs on the dropped wings.The Inter-galactic Transporter is a piece of technology created by our collective genius which has incorporated a vortex behind the cabin which allows all inter-dimensional and inter-galactic beings to travel through time and space. Over the last year, Chico Urban Artists Collective worked exceptionally hard to organize as a group to develop a concept, find a warehouse and a vehicle and build the Intergalactic Transporter and develop its crew. Not to mention getting us and Vaughn LaMont back "Home," as well as transporting folks around the Playa.
The creation of this conceptual art piece is symbolic of Rites of Passage, the theme for Burning Man 2011. Our intention is to co-create and participate in community-building through art. (You know, keeping one foot in each world and sustaining the good work in our day-to-day lives.) We came across many challenges and many opportunities for creative problem solving and to grow individually as well as a group . Us simply organizing, having meetings, brainstorming, disseminating information, integrating everyone’s ideas and actually acting on it and making it made manifest in the physical world . . . This very action of moving forward as a team was clearly demonstrated in the success of our Kickstarter project.
