Mosaic Experiment 2023: Celestial Chaos Map is Live!

The moment you've been eagerly anticipating is finally here: the 2023 Placement Map is now available for your perusal! As we gear up for this year's event, we're excited to provide you with the tools you need to make the most of your experience. Let's dive right into the details.

Access the Map

You can access the event map by visiting the 2023 Placement Map page or simply clicking here. This interactive map is your ticket to discovering the event layout, locating your favorite theme camps, art installations, and much more.

Mobility Shuttle Stops

In addition to the map release, we have some exciting news about mobility shuttle stops. For those who rely on our mobility shuttle service, we've designated specific stops to ensure your Celestial Chaos experience is as seamless as possible. Here are the theme camps with designated mobility shuttle stops:

  • Paradigm Shifters

  • TACO/Pirate Bae

  • Break-xodus

  • Temple/Camp Pretty Lights

  • COT13U

  • Entrance to the Back 40/Wayward Tea house

  • The * Ranch

  • Squirrel Corner/First Fires

  • Dept. of Creative Compliments/Bureau of Random Snacks

We kindly request that theme camps provide seating for at least two people at these stops. While shelter over the stops is not mandatory, it would be greatly appreciated, especially in case of rain.

Special Mobility Stop at the Effigy

On Saturday evening, starting from 4 pm until TBD, we will have an additional mobility stop at the Effigy. This stop is for those who need a ride to and from the event. It's our way of ensuring you can fully enjoy the event without any transportation worries.

Open Camping Areas for Mobility Shuttle Access

If your theme camp didn't receive an official stop but you'd like to establish one, you can! Simply provide seating for two people in the direction of the shuttle route, which goes counterclockwise. Individuals needing a ride should be ready to flag down the mobility shuttle as it passes by.

Please note that the mobility shuttle won't venture into the Back 40 due to muddy conditions. For anyone with accessible needs who isn't with a theme camp or RV/car camping and plans to open camp, we've designated open camping areas in front of the Back 40 for your convenience. Feel free to camp in these areas to ensure easy access to the mobility shuttle.

Open Camping Areas for Everyone

The open camping areas before the Back 40, as indicated on the map, are available for all to use. So, if you prefer open camping, you're more than welcome to utilize these spaces.

We appreciate your enthusiasm as we reveal the 2023 Placement Map, your indispensable tool for exploring and experiencing the wonders that await at this year's event.

Thank you for being part of our vibrant community, and we can't wait to see you at Mosaic Experiment 2023: Celestial Chaos!

The 2022 Placement Map Has arrived!

The map is interactive. Zoom in and click on icons and camps to read their titles and descriptions. Icons stay the same size regardless of your zoom setting, so zooming in will make it clearer where the icons fall.

In the side bar you can toggle on and off what parts of the map are showing. Camping areas, departments, art, mobility motor co. stops, and bathrooms are all visible in the default view. Food/beverage, sound, and fire icons can be toggled on and off. All sound shares the same icon but the description will indicate the level of the sound (low, moderate, high).

*Note on Food and Beverages: If your camp plans to gift non-alcoholic beverages (mocktails, tea, coffee, etc). Please email placement and ASAP for to be added to the map. This option did not get added to the registration form so this information was not collected.

Theme Camps: You will receive an email with your space's measurements in the coming days.

Mobility and Accessibility: Some requested spots were at neighboring camps, so those camps will share a shuttle stop. If you need a stop and there is not one close enough to you on the map, please email mobility@mosaicexperiment.com.
Accessible portos are spread throughout the event. If you need one moved closer to your camp, please email placement@mosaicexperiment.com.

Updates/Changes: The map will be printed tomorrow. No changes will be able to be made to the printed map after that.
The map is subject to change if on-site conditions require. In the event of last minute map changes, the online version will be updated and the changes will be announced.

Lifting The Lid On Our Porto Game

We aren’t full of sh*t, and your portos won’t be either. We’re currently putting together an info dump regarding the ticketing process which goes live Sunday, but while we’re still digesting, here’s an update on this year’s porto situation.

We are stepping up our porto and sanitation game for Mosaic 2021 with extra hand wash stations and handicap accessibility increasing this year. We’re also ramping up the rate at which the portos are cleaned and getting more aggressive with those sanitizer refills so you have a moderately fresher burn experience!

More resources, easier positioning for access and just like that this one aspect of your burn experience just got a bit better.

Who's Ready To Burn? Mosaic Experiment Begins!

This world hasn't offered us much opportunity to gather and burn in 2020. We decided to do something about that and created plans to try something we've never done before; a virtual burn. We've talked about it with you, we've worked diligently and we've built things we hope you'll enjoy. Now it's time to gather in a new way!

As your calendar will tell you, your wait is over. Our gate is open, our burn is underway, tickets are free and all that's missing is you, your friends, your campmates and your creativity. Whether you want to simply attend or build your own experience to share, we want your participation and radical self-expression as we burn and create new experiences over the next four days. Here are the four links you need to get started...

Gate's open! Come in and find your burners, old and new:

Join us, explore our burn and let's see what we can create over the next few days. We may have been forced to evolve this year, but we will still find our own way to burn and have a good time doing it. It is time to step "Through The Looking Glass" and explore like never before!

2019 Placement Map Unveiled

We are thrilled to share this year’s Mosaic Experiment Placement Map!

A couple of notes on our map. This is a living document and may change slightly when land conditions are assessed after we arrive at the event. If anyone has anything to add or change to their art or theme camp descriptions, please email placement@mosaicexperiment.com.

Also note that there are layers that can be toggled on/off for fire, sound, food, and alcohol. The default is having fire, food, and alcohol off because it clutters the map, but individuals can turn those layers on when viewing on their own devices.

9/23 Update: We made adjustments to the NW path. The same camps are in that area, we simply shuffled them around due to heavy art.

Special thanks are offered to the entire placement team and those who assisted them in making this document come to life in such wonderful detail.
