10 flags are dedicated to the initial 10 Burning Man Principles, an 11th flag for Consent, of course, and the 12th flag dedicated for arguably the most important Principle, Radical Go Fuck Yourself. The 12th Principle is more than just the representation of “Fuck your burn;” it has a deeper meaning to fuck someones experience, their entitlement, the weather, their camp, their friends, high costs, a flat tire, blown transmissions, cancelled babysitters, essentially everything and anything that can go wrong. Not everything will go according to plan, and that’s ok, and sometimes the individual has to just go fuck themselves, radically, and embrace the chaos that Burning Man brings.

The Path of Least Resistance is a whimsical installation that transforms a simple path into a reflective journey through the principles of Ohm’s Law. Relics of recorded sound are strung along a path, reflecting light as well as scientific insights and reflections on personal journeys, sound, and transformation. The path culminates at the source of sound, the audible manifestation of Ohm’s Law fulfilled: 𝑉 = 𝐼 × 𝑅 ⇒ 𝑅 = 𝑉 / 𝐼, the destination where voltage meets minimal resistance and energy becomes sound. Here, resistance isn’t the obstacle—it’s the journey. Resistance is the measure of progress as well as a reminder that the clearest signal often comes after the longest journey.

The Veil, both medium and metaphor, is a spatial experiment in surface logic, optical transformation, and perspective, creating a liminal space, nesting between projection and perception. A semi-sheer sheet of fabric is suspended from one side of an aerial rig, acting as a translucent membrane between two visual dimensions. From the exterior, an assortment of visuals are projected onto the fabric. On the opposite side, a swing known as “the cradle” hangs suspended. Seated within it, viewers encounter the ambience of visuals as they pass through the veil. The projected content is recontextualized by the fabric’s properties - translucency, texture, and movement - welcoming quiet reflection, a place to nap, or an extension of an immersive soundscape. This installation invites participants to consider how perception is shaped by medium. What is cast is not always what is received, between projection and reception, and between the visible and the veiled.

The Welcome Home Clown has been to over 40 burns, a ten foot tall character usually hanging out on a tree or pole near Greeters, letting you know that you're welcome!

Acting as both a support unit and a character of its own, T.U.G. expands the Glow Rover experience, providing an immersive platform where burners can gather, ride, and participate in an interactive space-themed journey.
