Daniel Busby

Los Angeles, CA

I'm a Los Angeles based artist and Lead Engineer at Syyn Labs. I've been building mutant vehicles for Burning Man since 2006. For this project I've enlisted the help of many handy and enthusiastic friends. In keeping with the theme of the sculpture, building it is a group activity.
