STAR PROJECT: BY CALI MASTNY aka starfive : Minneapolis, MN


The Star Project is a multi-year sculpture idea. It began in 2006 with a Star Seed, a metal seed about 2' x 2' coming out of an open pod. There were gaps in the seed, and at night you could see color changing light shining out. Quiet audio samples could be heard at random intervals.


This year, the seed has grown (or rather is growing) into a Star Tree. The metal tree will have LED stars growing from it. Some will be bigger welded stars with multiple LEDs, and some will be simple 1 LED stars which people on the playa can wrap with wire to create their own star and add to the tree. There will also be an audio interface where you can record your wish (on a star) and these will play back continuously throughout the event. There will also be some paper stars where people can write their wish on, and those will be burned. So some wishes will be burned and set free, others will live on in their voice.
