The RAYGUN GOTHIC ROCKET is an immersive large-scale installation consisting of a 40' tall metal rocketship connected via walkway to a taller gantry launch tower with a well-defined lighted perimeter. Participants can interactively explore the rocket_s three interior chambers accessible through the bottom of the rocket and the top of the rocket via the gantry. Aesthetically, the Rocketship explores the rococo retro-futurist future-rustic vernacular. Existing between yesterday_s tomorrow and the future that never was... it is a critical kitsch somewhere between The Moons of Mongo and Manga Nouveau. Camera by Joshua Coleman.

  • i am totally into the goth lifestyle btw any guys want to meet up with a goth girl like me

  • great show but not what i was looking for

  • great video - slept right through it - lots of late nights. thanks for capturing.

  • Waited around for 1/2 hour for launch and my friends were getting too irritated with the dust so we went to Opulent. Thanks for the vid.

  • I was there and I thought it was amazing. As I watch it again, I can feel the heat of the propane on my face. DAMN, I am one lucky SOB. and THANK YOU for filming and posting for all to enjoy.

  • that was fantastic the second time around too!!! thanks for posting.

  • I gave up too with the comment to my friend of, "We'll just watch it on youtube" and here it is! Thanks!  Spectacular but I think I am pretty much spoiled forever after the Crude Awakening experience.

  • We waited two hours for the launch, (not a bad wait though, we were scooting around looking at all the art cars) and ended up right by where you filmed from. Waited another 1/2 hour and gave up and left. When it finally went off I was just about to shoot a flamethrower that was about 300 yards away, the flamethrower guys stopped us so we could all watch it. Now I know what we missed! Great vid , thank you!

  • Wow, how did I miss this event???
