Escape Pod Earth

Alex Kane and Crew - Franklinville, NJ

We are trying to provide an interesting and fun escape from reality, a safe place for earthlings to relax and unwind. This project is designed to be participatory in the Burning Man theme in that the earthlings which come upon this project can envelope themselves into the Pod experience and mutate that experience to be unique and fun.

New this year is an emphasis on interactivity with the Pod. Earthlings will be able to push buttons and interact with lighting, microphones, and audio controls from within and/or outside the Pod. A control center will be outside the Pod, allowing earthlings from outside to communicate and affect the environment within. Controls will be developed and facilitated with the latest Arduino/Raspberry Pi, LED lighting controllers, and MIDI technologies.

The sound in the Pod will be an ambient, atmospheric soundscape, allowing earthlings to modify and add to the soundscape with a keyboard at the control center and potentially from within the Pod.
