At American Steel in Oakland this Saturday night Carbon Garden will fire up its carbon fiber flowers for the very first time. Dancing to the beat of False Profit and Symbiosis DJs: Tinker, Dr Toast, Welder, Heyoka, Beats Antique, Random Rab and Dov, our first 20 flowers on the stage will emanate tendrils, twists and outright blasts of fire with up to three foot flame tails each!

Carbon Garden will also appear at Fire Arts Festival in Oakland Wednesday through Saturday, July 15-18.

Carbon Garden is filled with mysterious flowering life forms–flowers up to ten feet tall with 3 foot blooms made entirely of space age carbon fiber. The Garden has four portals with a central patch facing east to catch the sunrise. Wandering through the garden, sensors detect your presence, process your motion and respond in tendrils and waves of fire with up to 30 three-foot flame tails. Swaddled in firelight and zen themed music, Carbon Garden is the perfect place for all life forms to seek respite and connect.
