Unleashing the Power of Math: Interactive Tug of War at Burning Man

Dear friends,

I am excited to share with you a thrilling project that will bring the physicality of mathematics to life at Burning Man 2023. With your help, we can create an awe-inspiring art installation that explores the concept of leverage through a larger-than-life tug of war contraption. Join me in igniting curiosity, encouraging experimentation, and rekindling our connection with the beauty of mathematics.

Project Summary:

Our project aims to construct a towering lever, firmly anchored to the playa, adorned with captivating LED lights along its edge. This interactive installation will challenge participants to engage in a spirited game of tug of war, exploring how different distances from the center affect their advantage. As the lever moves from side to side, the LED lights will dynamically change color, speed, and animation, reflecting which side has more leverage.

Mission:

At the heart of this installation lies a mission to reignite our intuitive connection with math, promoting a hands-on approach to learning. We believe that everyone can comprehend math through physical experiences. This project provides an opportunity for people to rediscover this universal observation of our world, leading with curiosity, experimentation, and shared experiences.
