Thank you everybody. Our campaign is now over. ✕

We are back from the playa! But we still need your help. While the project was a huge success, we are still in the red by many thousands of dollars. So we are once again offering our beautiful brass pendants to supporters of the project to raise additional funds. If you loved EyeToTheSky at the burn, please back this project and get a brass pendant - we really appreciate your help!

Chaord Studio LLC hasn't added a story.

We did it!!!

EyeToTheSky was completed and installed at Burning Man 2025. It exceeded all our hopes and expectations - it created a truly magical living room in the deep playa - a beautiful place to sit relax and enjoy both the space and each others company.

 

Please take a look at all of our updated pictures and videos.

 

And please consider ordering a pendant to show your support and help us with our remaining budget deficit.

 

EyeToTheSky is a new art installation that debuted at Burning Man 2025 - its a canopy made of molded plywood - with a central light artwork made of glass and steel in the form of a human iris pointed to the sky - with many places to sit and relax - a living room of sorts in the deep playa.
