The Temple of Transition by the ever expanding International Arts Megacrew.

In 2010 a small group of people from all over the world got together and decided to build an art installation at Burning Man. Megatropolis was conceived and evolved, against the odds, into an amazing experience for everybody involved. After it's fiery & explosive demise, and with a new understanding of the wonder & reciprocity of creating for the Burning Man Community, the Megatropolis Crew resolved to try harder, to grow, and to share this amazing experience with even more people in 2011.

This year the IAM are proud and humbled to take on the Temple project..
Come join us as we get 'er done at Burning Man 2011....
