"Now on its third iteration, the Mexico City-based Mayan Warrior has become one of the most iconic (and contentious) mutant vehicles at Burning Man, the weeklong festival-meets-pop-up-city that sees over 70,000 so-called burners in Nevada's Black Rock Desert, also known as the playa. About 30 people are involved in the art car year-round, with a camp of 200 people, 70 of whom are crew members."
"Famous for its full-spectrum lasers provided by Lightwave International, the masterminds who brought the rainbow prism of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" to life during Roger Waters' 2007-08 tour, it's one of the easiest art cars to spot at night. In addition to a rainbow of radial lasers, a brilliant column of light shoots into the sky, à la the Sacramento Kings' beam. Oh, and it spews fire too."
Predawn in Black Rock City finds thousands of bikers racing across the dusty playa toward sunrise sets, where spending sunrise at art cars is a common ritual. Mayan Warrior, a Mexico City–based project now in its third iteration, has become an iconic and contentious mutant vehicle at Burning Man, drawing large crowds. The operation includes about 30 year‑round contributors and a camp of roughly 200 people, 70 of whom serve as crew. The vehicle is renowned for full‑spectrum lasers supplied by Lightwave International, a towering column and radial laser arrays, and flame effects, and it hosts prominent electronic DJs.
