Folding-Time 2006: Burning Man August 28 - September 4, 2005.

Inspiration: "Spacing Guild Navigators” in the novel Dune fold space - to travel through the galaxy. Burning Man “Time Navigators” fold time – to travel through a time-lapse video of the emergence, flowering and disappearance of Black Rock City.

Throughout history, civilizations have emerged, flourished and disappeared, leaving only ruins, pottery and bones under the sands of time as silent witness to something once great. Black Rock City, a self-organizing community, emerges from and returns to playa dust over a time span of four weeks. Unlike empire cities, Black Rock City leaves without a trace. But, for the first time, the life cycle of this amazing organism has been captured for posterity and folded into compressed time for easy viewing.

Installation: From 2002 thru 2005, Time Navigators installed a time-lapse photography system to capture the rolling waves of growth and destruction that are the essence of Black Rock City. Four different cameras captured a portion of citizen activity every hour of every day for four weeks. We've seen Black Rock City grow and teem with inhabitants and disappear (ala Koyaanisqatsi).
