Solar Arch Debuts on The Golden Mile

A Playa to Park art piece has joined the eclectic collection of art on The Golden Mile. Solar Arch, located at JFK Promenade and Conservatory Dr. E on Yellow Dot, was designed to push the artist’s creative limits.

A first for Burning Man sculptures – incorporating solar into the artwork itself. fnnch set out to build a self-contained piece that has power generation, storage, and consumption all within its bounds.

An artwork that can run autonomously for months or years, which makes it the perfect addition to The Golden Mile!

Originally named Solar Bridge to showcase the metaphorical bridge to a future in which energy generation and consumption live increasingly in harmony, fnnch’s hope is that Solar Arch can be inspiration for a more sustainable future.

The exhibit lights up everyday at dusk (off at midnight) and on again for a brief show to delight early birds at dawn.
