CODAME Featured Artist: Billion Jelly Bloom is, ostensibly, a large-scale participatory little mermaid musical on acid.
Their website explains, “The group is a performance art dance theater mega-puppet tripper trap founded by Patricia & Robert Lord in San Francisco, California, USA circa 2010. Inspired by our own prodigiously vertiginous Burning Man experiences, Billion Jelly Bloom is our extension of Burning Man’s transformative tentacles. Billion Jelly Bloom’s Burning Man-ifested, benthic bumpin’ performance art transforms the night air into an ocean depth inhabited by an undulating, luminous jellyfish bloom. Our 15 foot tall, 640 lumen bright, performer-articulated OMFG Jellyfish dip and swarm and sting and dance and participatorily, interactively, immersively engage creatures, sounds and environs like it ain’t no thing. BOOM *drops the mic*”
