Art suggestion

Post by Bycle2Burner » Wed Sep 03, 2014 6:22 am

I will never be able to attend a Burning-man event because I ride a bicycle. Basically I use it for self supported touring. The logistics of getting enough water to last a week is not practical on a bicycle. After watching movie Sparky Burning-man is not the sort of party I would enjoy. Vipassana Meditation is more my speed.

But I do have a suggestion for an art display. A shower set up. I would think that many would need a nirvana ick type experience of a shower.

How would it work? Ans. You build a scaffolding high and long enough to park a water truck and a black water truck underneath then a second story would have showers and that would drain into the black water tank truck then just swap out trucks on an as need basis.

The water tanker could be used in case of a unplanned fire at a camp by a volunteer fire department of Black Rock Department of Public Works

The black water truck could have evaporation panels and use the water as an evaporate cooler ?

The people who build projects have their own ideas and own visions. If you like this idea so much build it. You don't have to build it in Black Rock City. The world's a big place.

I've split this out of "Feature Suggestions" since it has nothing to do with site features, and moved it to Open Discussion since the OP says they're not going to build it at Burning Man since they can't attend.

Really? Do you really think no one else has thought of a shower?
That's not even an "art" idea. It's just infrastructure.
