WB2025 Call for Posters

EVENT: BURN2 WINTER BURN - JANUARY 24-26, 2025

With the holidays upon us and the new year just around the corner, we look to Winter Burn, set to take place January 24-26, 2025.

Now we have the theme for this event: Aurora Mystica: Lights of Connection. We are now seeking poster ideas from you, our community. Someone had a brilliant vision of what this event could look like.

The theme's overall vision is described thus:

Concept:
Inspired by the Northern Lights, this theme celebrates unity, connection, and the magic of shared experiences. Like the auroras, individual contributions blend to create a magnificent whole. The focus is on how individual creativity and energy come together to form a collective, beautiful phenomenon.

Visual Style:
Dynamic auroras created using particle effects that light up the sky in vibrant colors.

• Ground-level holographic art installations and glowing pathways that guide participants to community-built spaces.
• Light-emitting sculptures and interactive art pieces that respond to touch or movement, symbolizing the ripple effect of connection.

Activities:

• Light-Painting Workshops: Guests use interactive tools to “paint” temporary light trails in shared spaces, contributing to a collaborative art piece.
• Group Meditations Under Auroras: Participants gather in open areas to relax and connect beneath shimmering light displays.
• Musical Performances Synced with Light Shows: Live music synced to dynamic light effects, creating a multisensory experience of sound and visuals.
