The space allocated is 30 by 100, near 3:15 (opposite side from Acrtica), and we're supposed to be on a corner. The art installation will go on the front edge of the camp, and the front enterance to the workshop is supposed to be on the road we're cornering.
The art car should live near the back of the camp, since it will have easy access to the road we're bordering.
2007: Placement in center camp. Art installation along
center camp frontage
2007: whole camp frontage view (2 images), also
large image
Camp Frontage View & Visual Scheme
Large shade structure with tables, chairs,
computer terminals, bins with discs and art supplies.
Colorful discs attached to all the posts on the shade structure. The
camp itself will become participant created art as the week progresses.
2007: main entrance on side (corner placement, yay!)
Theme-oriented sign (similar to the image at the top of this website) attached to the front of the share structure.
Also, indicate lighting inside (bright lights onto tables) and around edges (Stuart's low power x-mas lights), and LED lights on the sign and some of the art.
Camp Layout Plan
The primary purpose of our camp is to provide a workshop to draw &
paint canvas to be shown on the Turning Inspirations art installation.
The workshop also provides computer terminals to create movement and
interactive responses for the discs.
Locating the art and workshop close, ideally directly across from each other on the Esplanade would be ideal. In addition to a short walk and line of sight to the art, locating the art close will maximize the effectiveness of a wifi link that allows the computer terminals to configure the interactive responses the art has to touch and movement.

We have 1 small art car to park. If only the front of the camp is accessible to the car, then it must go there. We would much rather park the art car in the back, if the back of the camp can be reached by the car. This would allow maximum frontage space for the purpose of the camp, if such access can be arranged to the back side. TODO: notes about other options, make room for art car in back if it's accessible, etc
Interactivity, 24 Hours/Day Plan
We are committed to providing a 24 hours/day interactive art experience
for all participants. We intend to provide 3 tiers of service to artists
who come to participant in the workshop:
The Turning Inspriations art installation will be
powered by solar panels and a 100 amp-hour battery, which we can swap
(two batteries are dedicated to the art itself) and recharge at the camp
if necessary. The workshop will also require power at night for lighting,
and we intend to keep the power on by batteries (four batteries are
available for power) and by our generators. Late at night, we may have
to compromise between generator noise and battery life - but we will do
everything possible to make the workshop usable and keep the art operation
going 24 hours a day, all week long.
Leave No Trace (No MOOP) Commitment
| Camp: | Turning Inspiration Workshop |
| History: | New camp |
| Population: | 5 to 8 people |
| Activities: | Art workshop - drawing & painting small canvas art |
As a camp we will:
We hereby designate Stuart as our Moop Czar and leader of our Anti-Moop activities and Leave No Trace Plan. Stuart will oversee our camp breakdown and cleanup.
We are a small camp and cohesive group all from Portland, Oregon, rather than a large camp comprised of individuals from all over the country. Rather than a forming a "LNT Team" and leadership hierarchy appropriate for a large camp, we will simply ALL work closely together.
We will plan what we bring, how we get it there, and what opportunities we can take to reduce, reuse and recycle as much material as possible. We will all share responsibility for keeping the camp clean and for cleanup and trash management in our camp, including waste produced by our artistic guests in the workshop.
Specific things we will do:
Design our camp in a way that is easy to keep clean:
Select materials and decorations for our camp that lessen waste and are recyclable or reusable:
Create a detailed plan for the breakdown/cleanup of our camp, accounting for every board, stake, and scrap, and pack necessary tools and supplies:
Plan for extra cleanup and trash generated by activities and parties at our camp:
Most of the time we will have people present when artists are using the workshop. We will provide dedicated bins for blank canvas, used canvas, fresh pens, dead/dried pens, and so on. The bins will give participants places to discard unwanted discs and supplies. Of course, if they don't make use of the bins or create other mess, we will ultimately be the ones to clean the space to avoid moop and maintain the environment for all other artists to enjoy.
Have a plan for proper evaporation or disposal of our grey water, including containers to haul out what's left:
Because we are a small group, the tanks in our RV and trailer are sufficient. The RV Paul & Robin bring is a Sunseeker model with 3 waste tanks. If necessary, we will pay to have the pumped during the week. We will NOT create an yucky evap pond!
Plan enough space and storage in our vehicles for trash hauling:
The entire bottom storage compartments in Paul & Robin's RV are dedicated to storing all our trash. In past years, this has worked out very well. We double bag the trash and seal the bags up tight. They're shaded and last year all of us only filled half the space.
Discarded art supplies and art related waste will be packed back into the boxes we brought them in, not into the trash bags.
Explain the ground rules to all camp members and post our LNT plan on our website.
Our group is small and cohesive, all originating from the same area. We can share in these responsibilties without the structural organization necessitated by a large, diverse group.
Plan a secured trash separation station with signage and tags and plenty of heavy duty garbage bags
We use the lower storage compartments of the RV to store the trash. We bring multiple boxes of trash bags (more than we could ever need) so it's easy to double bag the trash. We place the sealed bags into that big lower compartment, so they're already loaded where they need to be when we depart. Those compartment doors latch and lock, so we have virtually zero risk of losing any trash along the road until we get it back home where it can be properly disposed.
To minimize our impact on the Playa, we will follow these rules:
Before the event
During the event
After the event
We will be Good Neighbors
