The Oracle was created for Burning Man as an exploration of why we seek answers and what happens when we dare to ask out loud.
I spent months sculpting, engineering, 3D‑printing, and building this towering mask, pouring all my time and resources into making sure it would be finished and functional in the desert. The event is over, but the project’s impact (and its costs) remain.
The Oracle invites people to speak to it, or become its voice. It blends the sacred and the absurd: a divine presence that might offer wisdom… Or ask if you’ve seen its bicycle. It flips the power dynamic and asks where meaning really comes from : the answer, or the act of asking.
This campaign exists to help recover part of the production costs and allow The Oracle to continue its journey into future exhibitions, public installations, and new iterations. Instead of physical rewards that are expensive to ship internationally, I’m offering digital rewards for everyone: high‑resolution art, behind‑the‑scenes content, and downloadable STL files so supporters can 3D‑print their own Oracle sculptures at home.
Your support makes you a co‑creator. You help keep this artwork alive, evolving, and accessible. You help The Oracle speak again, wherever it travels next.
Perks
A curated collection of high‑resolution documentary photos of The Oracle: desert shots, close‑ups of both faces, and making‑of images. Includes a short behind‑the‑scenes mini‑document showing how the mask was designed, printed, assembled, and brought to life.
