The largest art “car” in Burning Man history is in the works for 2015. It’s a Boeing 747 jumbo jet airliner.
The Big Imagination Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to…imagining and building things.
The team includes Ken Feldman, a Robot Heart veteran; Rob Volkel, director of the the Hula Fantastica Burning Man video, the most-viewed Burning Man video of all time; and venture capitalist Jonathan Theo.
The Burners are not planning on actually flying the structure into Black Rock City. According to SFist, “We’re not just dropping a 747 on the playa. There’s going to be some heavy modifications to it. This will be heavily mutated. It’s going to have some really unique interesting creative features. We’re getting a lot of help from some really interesting people who are really putting their creative stamp on this.”
They see it as a “venue on wheels” where everyone is welcome. The structure holds 300.
The team is seeking volunteers to help with the job – you can sign up here.
