About The Portal of Collective Imagination

Kim Carson · San Francisco, CA, United States

The Portal of Collective Imagination

The Portal of Collective Imagination is a 20-foot circular arch constructed from recycled aluminum, bamboo, and mycelium-based panels. By day, it appears as a luminous geometric halo rising from the playa — open, inviting, and quietly monumental. By night, it becomes a responsive environment: light ripples across the structure, projections bloom within its interior, and subtle soundscapes shift with human presence.
