The Rave-O-Matic is a sound-and-light show on wheels: a portable nightclub, a mobile disco. Designed for the harsh conditions and flat terrain at the Nevada desert site of the Burning Man festival, it is battery powered and (just!) light enough to tow behind a bicycle. It exists to spread a dance club experience everywhere, from the oft-neglected back streets of Black Rock City clear out into the deepest, darkest desert reaches. It creates a temporary zone of high-tech multisensory fun, rendered surreal by the contrast with its wilderness environment.
