As an added extravagance in its first two weeks, TRANSFIX will present artist Duane Flatmo’s El Pulpo Magnifico — one of Burning Man’s most famous art cars. El Pulpo Magnifico is a giant mechanical fire-breathing octopus standing 25 feet tall. Like a massive demented wind-up toy, the cephalopod’s eyes pop in and out and its tentacles rise and fall as it blasts 30 feet flames into the sky. The structure has been solidified in pop-culture — it was depicted in an episode of The Simpsons and has become one of the most recognizable art cars today.
Throughout the six month run, TRANSFIX will collaborate with partnering organizations and present exclusive, exhilarating programming. On Friday, May 12, TRANSFIX will partner with ART WITH ME, known for their international festivals, to produce a revolutionary night of music and art called “DANCE WITH ME”. From sunset to sundown, DANCE WITH ME will allow party-goers to take in TRANSFIX with exclusive live performances spread across their 3 music stages and immersive art installations.
TRANSFIX aims to build future art experiences that foster a global creative economy, form a strong community, and support innovative art and artists of all backgrounds, while encouraging participation and inspiring personal creative discovery. TRANSFIX is co-founded by experiential entrepreneurs Michael Blatter and Tom Stinchfield.
