Bliss Dance

“The Black Rock Arts Foundation is proud to help inaugurate another location for public art in the Bay Area by bringing Marco Cochrane and his teams' Bliss Dance to Treasure Island," said Executive Director Tomas McCabe. "This project is a bull's eye for us as it allows us to help support and highlight a local artist, collaborate with Treasure Island Development Authority in their efforts to incorporate art, and provide an opportunity for folks who were not able to see this amazing piece at the Burning Man event to interact with it in a whole new setting. Bliss Dance takes a classical art form to a whole new level in terms of scale, technology and beauty - and with the amazing San Francisco skyline as its backdrop, it's sure to inspire all who see it."

The sculpture, of a dancing woman, stands 40 feet tall, weighs 7000 pounds and is ingeniously constructed of triangulated geodesic struts. By day, the dancer’s ‘skin’, made of stainless steal mesh, shimmers in the sun. By night, it alights brilliantly with a complex array of 1000 slowly changing l.e.d. colored lights. Viewers may interact with and manipulate the lighting effects with an iphone application. The dancer’s delicate, graceful form precariously balances on one foot, adding to the astonishing impression of imminent movement and lifelike presence. See more information here on Bliss Dance!
