The amazing Nautilus Submarine art car.

“The Nautilus” by Five Ton Crane, a San Francisco Bay Area art collective, is a 25 foot long art car inspired by the submarine from 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. It has a water cannon and a night vision periscope, but its most awesome detail is a 4 foot diameter door with a motorized brass aperture window shade and a squid-themed keyless entry system (video). The door was designed and built by artist Dr. Alan Rorie.

More info on the Nautilus art car website.

Hatchery - Dallas C.O.R.E. Project.

This was a nice-looking piece but sadely the spiral pathway was not designed and built to be climbed. It would have been so nice to climb up the fiery spiral and get down by the stairs. So i gave that one a thumb down.

Artists often forget that making "climbable" art is very important at Burning Man. I get very disappointed everytime i see a "Do Not Climb" sign on a large art installation on the Playa.

When I mentioned that to the artist, she was extremely upset at me.
