What Is Recycled Rainbow?

Recycled Rainbow is a four-day event inspired by the Burning Man festival. Everything is organized, built and paid for by volunteers with their own resources. There are no trash cans, so you’ll have to pack your trash out with you. There are no vendors, so you have to bring enough food, drink and whatever else you need for four days. There are no schedules or rules, so you’ll have to make things happen yourself and respect your neighbor.

Everyone I talk to is getting ready for RR at the end of the month. Signs are being painted, lamps assembled, sculptures built. The last RR meeting before the event happened on August 29 with a lot of discussion about gate policy, rangering, greeting and emergency services. The energy is palpable.

RR this year looks like it will include (at least) five large-scale installations from five different teams including Notacamp, the Failure Society, 9VHH, Dirt Goddess and a crew of volunteers planning and building our first temple. But that’s not all. Bar Soul/Ever is Camp 362s gift boasting a jaunty atmosphere, formal wear cocktail parties and an elevated sense of style for RRs hub of social imbibement. Metamorphosis (RR’s underground dance club/immersive visual environment) will be expanded and a new and improved Cyberdelic will be unveiled this year.

The RR DBS has been building gates with their own special theatrical “flair” with a more utilitarian approach to the Invisible City’s utilitarian blank slate.
