Syzygryd

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

This year False Profit Labs is teaming up with Interpretive Arson and the Gray Area Arts Foundation to bring you a fire sculpture so big, so unique, so different we just couldn’t do it alone. Syzygryd (Syzy-what? SI-zee-grid) is a collaborative musical instrument that shoots fire. Syzygryd is made of steel cubes precision cut by robots then welded by us. Syzygryd is our latest Burning Man project, funded in part by an Honorarium Grant. We’re building it right now!

We need your help to fund Syzygryd’s FIRE! We have almost ten years of experience building safe and beautiful fire art, and we are excited to add sequenced flame effects to Syzygryd. The fire will rise up from the top of the center of the sculpture, culminating in a 10 to 20 ft tall fire tornado.

So check out this video, donate some money for a chance to win a custom flame effect made by us (seriously). And hey, don’t have the cash right now? We still love you, you’re the reason we do this in the first place, so drop us a line or come turn a wrench.

Go here to help us fund Syzygryd’s fire. For your donation, you’ll receive a fun treat, ranging from a sticker, all the way up to your own private event with Dance Dance Immolation or 2pir! And you might be lucky enough to win a custom flame effect that we build just for you. Now that’s better offer than an Obama Chia Pet!
