The Playa Crawler: A Kinetic Walking Chair for Burning Man

In 2017, engineer Mark Ellis designed an innovative kinetic chair called The Playa Crawler to navigate the vast expanse of Burning Man. Inspired by the Strandbeest sculptures of Dutch artist Theo Jansen, this unique chair is specifically crafted to withstand the alkaline terrain of the Black Rock Desert.

Mark Ellis wanted a personal vehicle that was both functional and original for getting around Burning Man. This led him to create a chair that walks using a system of articulated legs. This mechanism, invented by Theo Jansen, allows the chair to move similarly to Jansen's giant sculptures, which are propelled by the wind along the beaches.

Built from laser-cut aluminum and steel, The Playa Crawler is equipped with two electric wheelchair motors, batteries, and is controlled via a wheelchair joystick.

I wanna post characters from House MD ad sculptural chairs but I know our interpretations of characters vary widely/everyone is so multifaceted that so many chairs could be so many different aspects of any one character, so if anyone wants to send me 3-5 words that describe a character, I’ll find a sculptural chair that embodies that!!!

example:

Foreman

(Ikuyo Mitsuhashi Chair, 1988)

Thirteen:

(‘aluminum thermal spray series’, Max Lamb)

Taub:

(‘Ohrensessel’, Hannes Grebin)

Out of Flavour: Tasteless desires from an avaricious empire

Sue Kneebone, 2023, here shown at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery for Twist.

In 1845, Sir John Franklin led a costly polar exploration in which no one survived. His wife, Lady Jane Franklin, financed numerous search parties, some of which left canned foods on the Arctic ice in the desperate hope that her husband would find them. Other strategies included capturing Arctic foxes to which notes were attached to tell any survivors where to find food.

When reports from later suggested the crew resorted to cannibalism, Lady Jane requested Charles Dickens redeem her husband's reputation by reporting the crew's remains were not mutilated, but they had died 'passively' from cold and hunger.

... While the cans reflect poverty and thrift, Kneebone's zoomorphic cutlery set evokes the unquenchable greed and folly of the British Empire ...

In 1845, Tasmania's ex-Governor Sir John Franklin travelled with his own personalised cutlery set on his costly and ill-fated Arctic expedition.

The litter piece references Lady Jane Franklin's travels through the wilderness of lutruwita/Tasmania, where she was carried by convicts on a sedan chair/litter.
