The Emergence Project

The Emergence Project is an artist-and-builder collective documented in Burning Man’s official installation archive. The 2022 entry credits Jesse Lightcap and the group for Emergence, a dragonfly environment described with a structural-steel frame, recycled-material plants, lighting and shaded gathering space. The team’s campaign presents the dragonfly as a symbol of transformation and remembrance. Its 2025 archive entry credits the collective for Love Tram, describing a detailed wooden tram designed around connection and creative expression. The accompanying group campaign proposed a gondola-like setting with a participatory sound booth. These sources establish the collective independently of any one lead artist. They document event-year projects and design intentions; the profile does not verify current object locations, completed technical features, nonprofit tax status or availability for placement.
