Four years ago, the Land Art Generator Initiative<\/a> co-founders visited Fly Ranch<\/a> for a weekend campout. The campout sparked an idea and relationships that brought together LAGI, Fly Ranch, and Burning Man Project<\/a>. Two years later, the Land Art Generator Initiative<\/a> and Burning Man Project<\/a> partnered to hold a multi-disciplinary design challenge\u2014LAGI 2020 Fly Ranch\u2014to create the foundational infrastructure for that beautiful remote landscape. The LAGI 2020 Fly Ranch Design Brief invited interdisciplinary teams of artists, architects, landscape architects, engineers, and scientists to propose works of art in the landscape that, in addition to their beauty and the transformational experiences they provide, also function to generate infrastructural contributions under one or more of the following five systems: power, water, food, shelter, and the regeneration of waste streams.<\/p>\n

Maps & Overview<\/h3>\n

The top ten teams<\/a> were given honoraria grants from Burning Man Project to build a functional prototype. Beginning last year and continuing over the next few years, the teams will explore the feasibility of their proposals and adapt their artistic concepts based on their experiences of the site. As prototyping begins, the layout of this massive landscape for regenerative art is coming together through close coordination between the teams, Fly Ranch volunteers, and LAGI 2020 technical advisors<\/a> and jurors<\/a>.<\/p>\n
