Another busy day at Uchronia

Today was all work and no play, the installation needed all of our attention for the finishing touch! Basecamp needed some extra work as well to accomodate thirty newcomers, journalists, dj's and guests. We know you're hungry for pictures and news so get ready for a double treat tomorrow. BurningMan madness will not stop us from feeding you guys,
bear with us...

Uchronia

We are coming back from a time where everyone creates products for themselves, getting pleasure of it. The experience of transforming personal creativity to a unique object being a source of satisfaction. The Uchronia installation is gigantic. It consists of 150 km of timber with a floor span of 60 by 30 meters in the center, and a height of 15 meters. Part of Uchronia involves the reforestoration of an equivalent surface. The extreme dimensions will fill you with awe for human creativity. It's a sculpture of sharing, a refuge for human beings and the recommendation to rediscover the sence of being. Sunlight will be dropping ever changing shadows inside of the structure. At dusk lights will come on in the structure dropping its shadows in the surrounding area. It opens a void to a time of freedom and boundless creativity.

Synergy

All participants are volunteers, they contribute freely to Uchronia without personal benefit other than spiritual.
