Out of the Mud - Episode Two: A Foundation in Art

A bit late posting this episode, as it was released back in March, but we figured we’d go ahead and put it up now.

Welcome back to Out of the Mud!
In our second episode we explore the principle of Radical Self-Expression and show you how you can apply for the Mosaic Organization's open position of Art Grant Lead. We feature some of the art created by members of our community, as well as the street art that is being created worldwide in support of Ukraine.

Our special guest this month is local dubstep producer, DJ, and Mosaic community member Kyoshe; we'll hear from him on his music, how he came to Mosaic, and as a special treat for our viewers, Kyoshe performs a DJ set of his original music on the show with visuals by rivergreygraphics that you definitely do not want to miss!

You can find Kyoshe's latest EP, Shenanigans through Rewind140: https://rewind140official.bandcamp.com/album/shenanigans-ep-rwd-005

And his new single, Predator through Audio Terror Recordings: https://audioterrorrecordings.bandcamp.com/track/predator

Find more and keep up to date with Kyoshe's latest projects through his SoundCloud at: https://soundcloud.com/ky0she

If you'd like to have your art, music, or activism projects featured on our show, or would like to be considered as a special guest for an upcoming episode, write to us at: promotions@mosaicexperiment.com

Mosaic Experiment 2022 Returns With Dates, Theme, and a New Video Podcast!

Mosaic Experiment is planning to return to Reclaim this year from September 29th to October 2nd, 2022.

We're also flipping the switch on last year's theme to become Off and On Again in order to give everyone who began creating art for last year's theme the chance to show it off back in the razorgrass.

Finally, this year we are starting up our official Mosaic Video Podcast series, called Out of the Mud, hosted by everyman and Corvus where we give you updates about the burn, talk about important issues in society, showcase artwork from the community, and host special guests from the burn community.

We're proud to unveil our very first episode today and invite you all to watch! If you like what you see and would like to contact us to showcase your art, activism, or to be a guest, just send us an email at promotions@mosaicexperiment.com.

Thank You For Burning With Us Once Again

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 2021 digital burn! We were thrilled with our experiment this year and that is as much a credit to your contributions as it is our own efforts.

We are burners and we create! This past weekend we shared a space and offered it up for you to fill and that is exactly what happened.

Burn magic is a beautiful thing to witness especially when it’s created through so much of our community’s effort and hard work. Thank you to all of you who shared your creativity and explored gathering in a new way with us once again this year.

A Few Things To Remember As You Burn

At a burn there are very few rules and radical self expression is radically encouraged. That said, we do have a few which are shared as a reminder at Gate. Just thought it couldn't hurt to drop them here as a general reminder as we roll into day two. Yesterday was amazing. It only gets wilder from here!

BE RADICALLY EXCELLENT TO ONE ANOTHER

Mosaic Experiment is a burn community dedicated to respectful communication. Healthy discussions are welcomed and encouraged. While disagreement is natural, civil conversation is expected. We practice Radical Self Expression combined with Civic Responsibility and Radical Inclusion.

If someone asks you to leave them alone, do so. Verbal assaults, especially of a continued, aggressive, and/or sexual nature constitute harassment, including microaggressions. Degrading comments about things like race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated.

DIGITAL DECOMMODIFICATION

No spam. No advertisement or promotion. Posts of this nature may be deleted, and you may be removed from the group for repeated postings.

RESPECT PRIVACY

Screen capturing and/or recording is not permitted. Please do not post pictures from anyone's webcam but your own.

NEED HELP?

To request a ranger use the !ranger command, or simply use the phrases "Ranger Help" or "I Need A Ranger".
Now get in there and play! It's your burn. Let's go build it together starting at https://discord.gg/ZfuEGHQ.

Con-effi-clavi-gy Revealed

Let’s discuss fire. Let’s discuss you making fire and sharing it with the community for Con-effi-clavi-gy (aka Burn Night). Let’s discuss getting you involved!

What is Con-effi-clavi-gy? It’s the hybrid, digital gathering we’ve planned for burn night which combines conclave and effigy into one massive online streaming event. Of course, there are surprises taking shape as we finalize plans and this year we will be streaming to several platforms (further details soon) so we’re getting excited to share it with you.

Whether you are burning your own effigy, spinning fire, poi or sharing a kids glow, if you can stream it we want to include you this Saturday night.

Please let us know you would like to perform by registering via form.jotform.com/212437412171143 and we’ll get you into the mix. Please know fire performers will need a safety present and thank you for joining the show!

Who's Ready To Burn? Mosaic Experiment Begins!

This world hasn't offered us much opportunity to gather and burn in 2020 or 2021. Last year we decided to do something about that and created something we’d never done before; a digital burn. Now, once again, it's time to gather and create in a new way. Welcome home!

Our gate is open (though it never really closed), 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 links you need to get started...

Gate's open!

Come in and find your burners, old and new:
https://discord.gg/ZfuEGHQ

Catch the latest in our WWW (WhatWhenWhere) guide which will be updated continuously:
https://www.mosaicexperiment.com/.../27/what-when-where-2021

Whether it's a camp, an event, music, art, conclave, effigy or something unexpected, tell us what you have planned:
http://form.jotform.com/212437412171143

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 once again but we will still find our own way to burn and have a good time doing it. Let’s turn the lights on and explore like never before!

Our Burn Begins Tomorrow

We cannot wait to join each of you for our digital burn starting tomorrow morning.

If you haven't already, stop by our Experiment's basecamp in discord (discord.gg/ZfuEGHQ), get yourself registered and ready, check out our What When Where guide (mosaicexperiment.com/…/what-when-where-2021), add to the experience with your creativity (form.jotform.com/212437412171143) and get ready…

We're about to begin!

What Will You Create?

It’s Monday of burn week. This would normally be the time we send up signal flares seeking our final volunteers. A digital burn is quite different. We don’t need the usual horde of burners working toward infrastructure BUT, we still need each and ever one of you (just in a slightly different way).

Please consider taking that time you would have given to the burn volunteering and think about what you can share as an experience for others.

It’s not too late to add something fun to the mix. Have an area of knowledge that you love to discuss? Have art you’ve created over the last year? Creating something right now? Have a song you’ve been dying to perform or music you simply must share? Dancing? Drumming? A film watch party? There are so many options to express yourself beyond even these suggestions.

Let us help you make your idea a reality. Share what you are considering in our Discord (discord.gg/ZfuEGHQ) and stop by spots like “art-room”, “burnable art” or even "center camp" where you can workshop your idea with other burners. We build but we also build together and that's just the best!

An Update On Ticket Refunds

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update on ticket refunds.

We've run into a few delays with our paypal account due to the high number of refunds being issued. Over the weekend, the majority of refunds were processed for 2021 ticket purchases. The last of those and the 2020 rollover tickets are what's left to be processed.

We hope to have the rest of the refunds completed by 9/15, if not sooner. Thank you for being patient with us while we work through some unexpected delays. If you have any questions, please email tickets@mosaicexperiment.com.
