About
The Solar Library is a rhythmic repetition of triangular yellow huts with bright, sun-orange doors. The steel-framed huts present solar panels at an ideal angle to the sun. At night, they bathe in soft yellow light reminiscent of the sunlight collected all day. Artists apply for a library card so they can build battery-powered art, knowing they have dedicated solar charging capacity reserved to charge their batteries. The mission is to remove the noise and fumes of generators from playa art without the proliferation of panel farms.
