The Flaming Lotus Girls Summer 2009 Party takes place this Saturday, August 1st at The BoxShop in San Francisco, featuring a sneak preview of their new Burning Man 2009 sculpture “Soma”.
Soma, created by the Flaming Lotus Girls, captures the essence of a neuron. Spinning balls of fire act as nuclei within the dodecahedron cell bodies. Dendrites extend up into the sky and reach down to the earth, emitting constant flame and color changing light. Along her axon, extend eighteen individually controlled fire effects across the stainless steel arch with sequenced LEDs on the underside.
