Rainbow Bridge summary
The Rainbow Bridge will include 15,000lbs of steel for the frame, clad with wood panels painted the iconic colors, and emblazoned with over 27,000 individually addressable LEDs. That is nearly 1 miles of total LEDS, and these will be sound-reactive and beautifully animated. This means that the experience of the Rainbow Bridge will be forever mutable, much like the experience of Burning Man itself. The apex of the walking platform of the Rainbow Bridge will be 30 feet high, giving participants a stunning view of the playa and an opportunity to take in the event from a new, exciting perspective. A protective railing will run across the bridge at 40 inches high, so the view from above can be beautiful and safe.
The Rainbow Bridge is helmed by artist Josh Zubkoff, whose 2017 installation was Phoenicopterus Rex, a massive 40 foot tall climbable lawn flamingo that garnered attention from Rolling Stone, W Magazine, National Geographic, and Artnet.com. Leading the LED project is artist Srikanth Guttikonda, a Phoenicopterus Rex build team member.
