Fluffy is a mobile art piece bringing joy and beauty in the form of a giant lit-canvas, sound system, dancefloors, and shooting flame. The artwork is a floating cloud bank based on a 40-foot bus platform, sheathed in 14,000 LED lights that act as a single canvas to convey sunrise, sunset, storms, and more. Fluffy’s DJ booth and sound system fuel dance floors inside and outside the vehicle, while a propane flame blaster keeps the crowd warm and lit. It was fabricated in Vermont by local artists banded together as Duane’s Whirld, who bring the “artcar” to Burning Man each year and eagerly bust it out for community events here at home.
