Fuel For The Fire :: Nexus Pyrosphere Fundraiser

Description

This year at Burning Man NEXUS is bringing it bigger than ever and we need your help - we need you to come to a sick party in San Francisco and rock out on the dance floor to some of our favorite DJs - think you can do that?

This is all in the name of supporting the NEXUS PYROSPHERE, a 37 foot tall interactive fire sculpture - designed by Erin Banwell - that we're bringing to the playa this year.

And besides who better to celebrate your Independence with than the NEXUS family?

About The Pyrosphere:


The PyroSphere is a 22 ft diameter geodesic sphere, elevated on five 15 ft legs for a total hieght of 37 ft. The sphere itself has 92 flame effect valves, each located at one of the sphere’s 92 vertices. Each flame effect valve is an 1/8 inch solenoid (electronic) valve, which emits a small, 3 to 4 ft fire ball. Each of the 92 valves is controlled individually by a microcontroller, creating a “persistence of vision” illusion similiar to the Burninator installation of 2009, only spread out over the surface of a sphere, creating 3 dimensional fire animations. Directly below the sphere, sits a 6 ft diameter clear bowl full of water. LEDs light up the water from below, as it bubbles fire, creating a camp fire style gathering area.

In it’s essence, the PyroSphere is a gathering place. A place of warmth, and conversation. The PyroSphere’s dramatic silhouette combined with hundreds of elaborate, rapid fire patterns, will be visible from far across the playa.
