This is a recycled structure was brought to the playa to honor a father and grandfather who found their dreams by constructing buildings in America.

Artists notes:
Babylon
by Philip Raiser, Arthur Rodriguez and Mik Hilldebrand
Babylon is a 100-foot tall tower of dreams, its shimmering sand-colored surface reflecting the images and imagination of the Burning Man community, and the American melting pot beyond. The structure envelops an innovative steel structure in a reflective mesh screen on three sides that will be used throughout the night. On one face of the tower, participants’ full-length photos are divided horizontally into thirds and randomly mixed with two other people’s photo sections to form a composite. On two other sides, participants, responses to the question, “What is your dream?” will be translated into two random languages and projected onto the full height of the structure. The result will be an evanescent, ever-changing, thought-provoking creation that will reflect the spirit of the American dream.
