I'm in the Bay Area.I'll have to go check it out in person one of these days. I remember reading about this in a local newspaper a while ago. I saw the initial picture and thought, hey I've seen that before! This reminds me of the juicer posted a few weeks ago by KITCHen.ETC: If you are interested in Five Ton Crane, go here: We'll just ignore that little grammatical error in the third sentence.Īnybody have a brilliant idea for what category I should put this in? Let me know.Ĭare to know more about the Raygun Gothic Rocket? Visit this website: From giant projects like the Raygun Gothic Rocketship to individual projects as well as client-based work.there is no job too big or too small that Five Ton Crane can't lift." As the name implies: 5TC does the heavy lifting that the individual artist couldn't do on their own pooling resources, interests and talent to create opportunities for Art.

"The Raygun Gothic Rocketship mixes the curious and fantastical science of the imagination with the solid, everyday science familiar to builders, artists, mechanics and engineers. The blue information kiosk, shown in the fourth picture, says the following about it: It was originally made for the Burning Man festival. This futuristic piece of art (which you can actually go inside, although I'm not sure when and how) was made by a group of Bay Area artists who call themselves "Five Ton Crane." The lead artists on it were Sean Orlando, David Shulman, and Nathanial Taylor. Ever feel like you were on candid camera?
