Attacks from Mars at Burning Man 2015

Below are images from our Attacks from Mars pinball machine, fully assembled for Burning Man 2014. This is a three year project — the first year we created the murals and play space. In the next two years we will be updating the external lighting and make the playspace more interactive.
