Exploring Meteor Crater with the Atomic Octopus

Occo Mundi continues. The sun rose slowly over the desert as the giant Atomic Octopus floated across northern Arizona. It was the perfect morning for exploring Meteor Crater nearby, a vast and mysterious landmark. Its copper tentacles swayed in the wind like long parade ribbons. Meanwhile, tiny gears clicked and clacked inside its ancient metal body. Purple lights glowed under its brass armor, and bright yellow lights blinked from its giant mechanical suckers....

Camp Teaser Video

Today we have a treat for you. This is a quick camp teaser video that we rendered. It shows an approximation of what our front-of-house will look like at Burning Man 2026. We have been using virtual worlds and 3D modeling apps to pre-visualize our art and camp builds for years. These tools have become invaluable. They allow us to get a better sense of how things will fit together....
