We're thinking about our burn family today. We at Mosaic Experiment are looking forward to watching the community build things, plan weirdness to share, create art and fully return to our lives in the months ahead.
As promised last weekend, we're opening ticket sales today and look forward to seeing you all this coming October!
Ready to start planning your Mosaic experience for 2020? Tier 1 ticket sales (just $80) begin on Friday, March 13th via our ticketing page. It's time to go "Through The Looking Glass" with us and see what's on the other side!
We are thrilled to unveil our 2020 Mosaic Experiment theme. Join as we go "Through The Looking Glass" later this year!
Before announcing, we contacted the very creative burner called Corvus and received permission to unveil the individual who made the initial theme pitch. Corvus agreed and is already excited to share ideas for how we can play with this theme.
The original pitch: "Reflections of reality through subjective perspectives. A chance to walk in the shoes of another and collectively appreciate and understand the struggles we face together." Here is the imagery included with that initial pitch…
For those wanting the final results (based on well over 100 of you voting):
- 52.6% - Through The Looking Glass
- 25.8% - First Contact
- 21.6% - Different Kind of Human
Ladies and gentlemen... GET BUILDING!
After a narrowing of the field by your Mosaic leads, we have three possible themes for 2020. It is time for YOU to vote on which you would like to see made real in October!

Your choices:
Pitch... Through the Looking Glass
Reflections of reality through subjective perspectives. A chance to walk in the shoes of another and collectively appreciate and understand the struggles we face together.
Pitch... First Contact
With an overarching alien theme; the idea also lends itself to first time burners, first meetings, and other firsts (wink). I envision an alien spaceship effigy with a useable meeting space for people looking for new faces.
Pitch... Different Kind of Human
The 10 Principles create a community where we all enjoy space to experiment with who we are, to express ourselves, to be included - make art out of being human. So many of us find that attending burns brings about, catalyzes, intensifies or stirs up change in our lives. In short, being a burner has made us different than we were before. This theme also links with intersectionality, embracing and learning about the unique paths all our lives have taken and experiments with setting aside all the mindless ways the wider culture is toxic. From a creative standpoint, there's a huge array of humanoid characters to choose from! Droids, fae, paradigm shifters, avengers, mythology and pop culture! So what do you want to do? How do you experiment with being human?
Voting will close on Friday, February 7th!
We are thrilled to share the dates for our 2020 Mosaic Experiment. Mark your calendar now to join us at Reclaim October 1st - 4th, 2020!

Burner Handle(s): Bunny
Role(s): Why do you do it? I'm a sucker and agree to things while inebriated? Honestly being art grant lead is really special to me. Being able to help build our community via direct communication to the art base is amazing. Art is such an important part of my life and being able to help facilitate in it gives me the warm squishy feels.
Read MoreWe are thrilled to share this year’s Mosaic Experiment Placement Map!
A couple of notes on our map. This is a living document and may change slightly when land conditions are assessed after we arrive at the event. If anyone has anything to add or change to their art or theme camp descriptions, please email placement@mosaicexperiment.com.
Also note that there are layers that can be toggled on/off for fire, sound, food, and alcohol. The default is having fire, food, and alcohol off because it clutters the map, but individuals can turn those layers on when viewing on their own devices.
9/23 Update: We made adjustments to the NW path. The same camps are in that area, we simply shuffled them around due to heavy art.
Special thanks are offered to the entire placement team and those who assisted them in making this document come to life in such wonderful detail.
