11:11 Diamond Portal

BURNING MAN 2004-5






The Diamond Portal is a shape that I thought of in 1984 , but only decided to build for Burning Man 2004 as a 16 foot tall sculpture. As Burning Man is laid out in a radial plan based on a clock, it was located at 11:11, a synchronistic activation code. The design utilizes the golden ratio and heart chakra colors. Being built in Taos, NM is an integral part of its significance. Inside of it is a solar powered version of the Quasar Wave Transducer sound sculpture: a subsonic nonlinear dynamic analog feedback device vibrating with low frequency pulsations that resonate with the Earth, the Portal and the people in and around it, to activate the dimensional shift. The Diamond Portal is a key to shifting the Earth to the next vibrational dimension that we are moving towards. It is an interactive sculpture that requires participation by sitting in its cylindrical opening or leaning on its face to fully experience it and Burning Man is the ideal venue for it.
For Burning Man 2005 the original Diamond Portal was rebuilt after being extensively damaged in a windstorm in Taos, New Mexico, and a new outline version was built out of steel tubing the golden ratio smaller, about 10 feet high. The outline was placed the golden ratio between the original Portal and the Burning Man. The original Portal was burnt in the Temple of Dreams fire the last Sun. night of the event.
