Mant Farm

Mant Farm – An homage to Earth’s first metropolis, the Mant Farm provided the Playa with a dramatic, immersive, interactive vertical maze where you could explore the concepts of maturation, citizenship, nostalgia, scale, and systems of communities – in a working ant farm built to human scale.

This was a hugely enjoyable collaborative project. Along with Walking Fish Studios and the sober Free society, we conceived of, designed and constructed this immense structure, standing 40 feet tall and 56 feet long, out in the the Black Rock desert in NV for the Burning Man arts festival. The project was funded by the Burning Man organization through one of 30 awarded grants out of over 270 applicants. More info and images can be found at: www.MantFarm.com
