The Tribe is an eclectic group that fits no known demographic. We cannot even name our Tribe as no one name would fit without excluding someone that does not fit that description. After all, mankind is ALL one TriBe - JimBowers
Continuing in the tradition of creative, unique and mind blowing art on the playa, artist Jim Bowers along with The TriBe, a talented team of Laser Technology Scientists, expert craftsmen and other artists from around the world are designing and creating what may be The Worlds Largest Working Clock! At 4800′ feet wide, high powered lasers will keep accurate time with hour, minute and second hands marking illuminated, artistic obelisks over the heads of the 50,000 festival goers that attend the Nevada Desert festival every year in August.

BRC installs utilitarian sign posts throughout the city. At night, these sign posts are a hazard for being unlit. By installing unique solar-powered light sculptures on the sign posts, City Lights will make them distinctive artistic landmarks and will illuminate them during the night. In 2010,the City Lights project brought illuminated art to the dark, back streets of Burning Man. An expansion for the project will be an On-Playa studio for people to create illuminated sculptures for themselves or to create flags or banners to mark their camps. Read more…

Utilizing large water trucks, we will spell out the word “TriBe” using water to mark the lines over 1750′ across the deep playa. Each letter of the word will be over 700′ tall! Read more…
