400 works of art don’t just appear as if in a desert mirage. Well, they do, but not without a lot of people, tools, and funds. Planners are planning. Makers are making. Art grants are granted!

Hear their stories in their voices. Hold onto your headlamp: We’ve got an interactive Man Base that looks like an octopus or a fjord or both We’ve got a larger-than-life omniscient prankster traffic cone We’ve got the insider intentions of this year's temple builders We’ve got artists sharing cultural riches from China, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire and the US.
