At times like these, technology is invaluable. I remember a few years back when we all had to wait until a few days after Burning Man was over to start seeing images of the beautiful art decorating the Playa. But nowadays—remote desert locale be damned—images are finding their way to us during the event, come hell or high desert winds. The following images by Neil Girling convey the diversity and ingenuity of several LED light-based art installations at Burning Man 2012, and at the very least, should provide some inspiration for any artist who has misplaced his or her mojo. If you didn’t get to grace Black Rock City this year, or if you simply need a reminder of the creativity that exists outside your front door, sit back and enjoy the RGB LED-laced eye candy that follows. There’s plenty where that came from.

Here we have a giant electric guitar, which appears to be illuminated with LED strips. I’m sure this piece is refreshing for analog music lovers on the Playa, as much of the Burning Man experience these days is wrought with laptop-wielding electronic music producers.

Next we have a simple-yet-lovely shade structure with a nature-lovers theme. Thought you had to go to Japan to find a great Bonsai tree? Think again.

Let the sparks fly! This installation is exploding (albeit a little early, seeing as how Saturday’s burn has yet to come), but underneath all that fire, I’m guessing there might be some LED light fixtures.

I love the look of the spherical structure to the right in this image. It reminds me of an underwater creature, especially in the glow of nearby LED wall washers.
And finally we have a space-age looking structure which in all probability is also an art car or mobile vehicle of some sort. Judging by the saturated blue hue, it’s illuminated with a DMX LED lighting system.
Stay tuned for more inspiring pictures from the Playa, and remember, if you can dream it, you can build it!
