Art of Black Rock City 2026
Beacon of Confusion
Josh Harris — San Francisco, CA, United States

About
You are carefree riding your bicycle near the outer boundary of Burning Man. In the distance you see a beacon of light. A glow of a different color. You ride closer to inspect. Several glowing lights in shades of fuchsia and gold become apparent upon arrival. It stands the height of 15 hands. Not quite a full horse you think. A button and a crank adorn the sides of the small obelisk. Messages of cryptic origin and unknown meaning on its sides. What is this thing I've stumbled upon, you wonder?
