AlterVision:
We are a tribe
in the infancy of formation.
We are a philosophy eager to evolve.
Join us and be a part of Playa history.

 

Premise:

After a two-year break from “theme-ing,” Camp Steal Your Soul—the ones who produced souvenir Burning Man postcards using your photo—returns with AlterVision: An Interactive Black Light 3D Adventure.

Indigenous tribes worldwide defined themselves by marking colors and patterns on faces and bodies. From the black Maori Ta Moko tattoo to the red butterfly on the face of a Mohave woman, from the henna art on an Indian bride to the green and yellow on the weekend warriors at a Packers game, body painting is an expression of identity and communication. It is used to ward off evil and seduce, bring luck, announce milestones, make war, make magic, make merry and prepare the passage into the afterlife.

Step into AlterVision's Blacklight Lounge, and help us define a new tribe. Don a pair of AlterVision glasses. Leave the world of muted gray Playa dust and enter a new dimension of fluorescent murals and objects in shocking pink, neon green and electric blue glowing in a purple haze—all of it in 3D.

Now it’s turn for your AlterVision Quest. Create your own tribal markings with fluorescent body paint. Paint yourself and others, or let us apply our brushes to you, to become the mosaic, become part of our tribe, your tribe... and a living 3D mindfreak.


And then dance. We encourage drummers to come and raise these painted bodies to a unified beat, at once primal and neon futuristic. Slide and shimmy into the black light, then meld into the mural. And when you’re through, keep an instant photo of you & your tribe—as a lasting reminder of what went down in AlterVision's Blacklight Lounge, BRC 2006.
