2010 Burning Man, USA



Artists: Teddy Lo and Ryan C.

"At the 2010 Burning Man event, LEDARTIST CVO Teddy Lo and Ryan Doyle collaborated on one of the most extraordinary Mutant Vehicles to ever grace the event. A 1963 Dodge dump truck deconstructed and altered to take the shape of a dragon, Gon Kirin ('Light Dragon') is a sixteen meters long, seven meters tall beast with two levels of climbing space, a hydraulic neck, a DJ booth, seating for more than twenty people, and a massive flamethrower in its mouth. LEDARTIST designers lit Gon Kirin with 750 meters of linear RGB LED lighting fixtures and multiple Traxon wall-washer units, and controlled the design with Traxon/e‧cue Butler hardware. LEDARTIST looks forward to continually developing Gon Kirin in the future, and keeping the vehicle prominent in the Art Car community."

    Before turning on the LED, it is a dragon fossil. But when it is turned on, it is alive. That's a good party tool.

ADA - analog interactive installation / kinetic sculpture / post-digital drawing machine - 2010







"<<ADA>>  is an interactive art-making machine. Filled up with helium, floating freely in room, atransparent, membrane-like globe, spiked with charcoals that leave marks on the walls, ceilings and floors. Marks which «ADA» produces quite autonomously, athough moved by a visitor. The globe obtains aura of liveliness and its black coal traces, the appearance of being a drawing . The globe put in action, fabricate a composition of lines and points, which remains incalculable in their intensity, expression, form however hard the visitor tries to control «ADA», to drive her, to domesticate her. Whatever he tries out, he would notice very soon, that «ADA» is an independent performer, studding the originaly white walls with drawings and signs. More and more complicated fabric structure arise. It is a movement exprienced visually, which like a computer make an unforeseeable output after entering a command."
