The Man |
The largest and most central burnable art structure at Kiwiburn is The Man. Each year this wooden effigy is custom built to reflect the Art Theme and is growing in stature as the festival grows. He is ceremonially burnt on Saturday night... Don't miss it! |
|
The Temple |
The Temple is also a Burning Man tradition. Each year, a non-denominational temple is built where anybody can go to meditate, pray, perform ritual or just contemplate quietly. Many people choose to write messages to loved ones, or notes of things they would like to let go from their past, or simply thoughts they would like to put out to the universe and leave them in the temple. |
|
The Pirate Ship |
The origional vessel was built by Rich D Rich for the 2008 Kiwiburn festival and it was a great success; it was moored to the beach as a great floating attraction. Pirate Captain Lumos took over the care and operation in 2009 and added a small 2hp outboard motor. In 2010 he repaired damage done by the cows and added some more improvements, and the Pirate ship had a great time transporting festival goers out onto the lake. We also had a great Pirate Beach party with kids of all sizes having fun. Later that year the main deck was stolen and Captain Lumos applied for and received a Kiwiburn Arts grant to build the new and improved Pirate Ship that was launched in January 2011. As well as having less drag in the water this vessel was loaned a bigger 10hp outboard and our trips could now go up the river exploring and having a great time. The pirate ship will return in 2012, again with more enhancements and perhaps a new look on life. |

Fire on the Water |
Out on the lake, on the edge of the deep water, a row of floats. With the dusk, the flames are lit, and, for as long as they last, the line of fire reflects from the surface in the distance. Contemplate in the quiet by the water. |
|
Bank of Kiwiburn ATM |
Because this event is about how we can survive without money I wish to build an ATM machine that will not dispense any, rather it will give reasons why money can not be issued and is not even required, perhaps it is the root of all evil ?. There is also relevance to the theme as normally on a holiday not being able to get cash would be a disaster. |
|
Mobile Drum Circle |
In the absence of Chewy I wish to bring the power and energy of the drum circle to the paddock. To assist in reaching out to the entire community I would like to provide a vehicle/platform that can transport the drums, chairs etc around and provide shelter if it rains as well as some shelter from the sun. We plan to do a daily tour of the camp and encourage impromptu jam sessions.For those who dislike the rhythm of a drum beat I wish to offer the ability to provide their dislike anywhere it is required on the paddock, just like good neighbours do when camping. |
|
The True Infinity |
Hello fellow pyros, may i introduce the true infinity, an example of synchronicity in this world of devastation. The piece will be free-standing during the day and will be side-on and used as a bar during the night, then finally when burn night comes along, the shrine you all imbibed at will be sacrificed to please your pyro alter-egos. I hope there will be some people willing to lend a hand as this is my first public art piece and I hope to have alot of fun with it. |
|
Tetrahedron Madness |
My sculpture is of complex weaving of an origami star with the dexterity of wood. The over all effect is a giant three dimenional star made from 5 intersecting tetrahedra. This is a stunning peice of paper origami that could burn this year or be altered/added to in following years... |
|
Sting Ring |
Sting Ring is an interactive fire installation that should please all you pyro hungry hippies. |
|

|
Burner Library |
The Burner Library - stocked with literary treasures by participants for participants. |
|
Shuttle |
“Shuttle” will continue to bring space technology art theme to the Kiwiburn paddock in 2012. The art piece will be a scaled-down, loose interpretation of the iconic Space Shuttle reusable space vehicle, retired by NASA this year after 30 years of service. The Shuttle will sit on display outside Cape Carnival theme camp, a camp built on a combination of space-geek technology (Cape Canaveral was the launch site for NASAs manned space programme), and carnival fun and music. |
|

Free Market and Revolving Washing Line |
Bring awesome things you don't want or need - clothes, costumes, Hats! cutlery, spare (unused) toothbrushes... vitamin supplements, jewelery, stationary, Hats! accessories, ornaments, Hats!... shiny things, useful things... strange things. If possible, take away more than you bring so that we don't have a mega op-shop load to drop off on the way home. To fit this in with the theme... it's the free op-shop you go to when you realise your forgot your luggage or it was stolen by dancing purple hyenas. |
|
ed's boom shack |
we love making juice and music, i will blend things people bring with ice, but the most fun we have is joe squeezing in with his drumset, ed on his keyboards and samplers and live mcs ripping it up. anything goes really and we wing it all the way improv styles... it's great. |
|
Hippy Dream Catcher |
Kiwiburn's huge Hippy Dream Catcher returns and you can add a piece of your something to make it even more beautiful, if we add lights it would look even better at night. |

get your drag-on |
I am excited to contribute a two meter tall vertical standing dragon sculpture. With wings outstretched and head tilted back I wish to herald in the new year of the dragon in a blaze of flame, smoke and sparks. |

The Binary Wizard Saga: Enter the Technomaster |
I come from the net, from systems, peoples and cities to this place, Kiwiburn. My format, Technomancer; to make contact and aid. To aid the burners, to save their hopes and dreams, to save them from Disaster... Holiday... They say the user lives outside the net and pirates information for pleasure, no one knows for sure but I intend to find out. REBOOT! |
|
The Velocitraption |
Imagine a world where technology has taken a different path: Instead of cars, computers and mobile phones, we have steam, brass and personal visits. How will people in this epoch travel on their disaster-prone holidays? They will use Velocitraptions. This project is to create such a vehicle – a (ostensibly) two wheeled mechanical contrivance which will roam the paddock, guided by its intrepid conducteur. |
|
The Sphere |
I have created a 2m sphere which I project interactive graphics that react to music into. |
