Michael Benisty ↗

Michael Benisty develops large sculptures and digital works around relationships, connection and shared experience. His portfolio uses mirror-polished stainless steel across human and abstract forms, reflecting their surroundings as visitors move around them. The artist dates Mirage to 2017 and Broken But Together to 2019, while listing Broken 2.0 and Broken 3.0 separately in later years. At The Aurora Highlands’ Hogan Park, an operator account published in November 2024 describes a Broken But Together installation as fractured figures standing united. The artist’s portfolio and the park operator report different heights for that title, so no single size or numbered edition is assigned to the Aurora example here. These references distinguish a dated portfolio work from a documented public presentation rather than treating similarly named versions as one confirmed physical object.

Michael Emery ↗

Michael Emery creates participatory installations using reflective metal, ceramic tile, painting and sound. Burning Man’s archives credit his practice from Santa Cruz and Felton, California, across several event years. PARAGATE, described in the 2017 archive, combines an eleven-foot steel portal with a mosaic of small mirrors and an audio collage. Nirmanakaya uses sculpted ceramic tiles, a monolith and voice-changing microphones, while VIMOKSHA explores fragmented reflections and layered sound. Later references include the patterned steel dome Mercurialosity and the painted rectangular form Return of the Dreamtime. The portfolio below records named festival projects and their event-year contexts; it does not establish their current condition, location or availability. This is the California installation artist, without any asserted connection to artists with the same name elsewhere.

Miguel Guzman ↗

Miguel Guzman is an installation artist documented by Burning Man in repeated collaborations with Iyvone Khoo. Their Rain God, Chaac combines Mayan-inspired imagery with animal figures and mycelium components, while A Moment in an Aeon takes the form of a lotus-shaped portal. The 2025 archive describes Ghost Whale Shrine as a suspended whale-marionette environment using mycelium and recycled plastic. Ancestors of Dawn explores shelter, regeneration and relationships between species; the official Honoraria announcement credits Dust Spores Studio alongside Guzman and Khoo. UC San Diego’s Latz Laboratory also records Guzman assisting Khoo’s 2015 bioluminescence research. These sources support an individual artist profile with explicit shared authorship. They do not establish an independently operated studio, a current base, or the present availability of the documented installations.

Moral Turgeman ↗

Moral Turgeman is a multidisciplinary artist and founder of Raise the Moral, a studio working across art, architecture and design. Its practice combines crafted objects and technology in sensory environments, interactive installations and sculptural furniture. The studio identifies permanent locations in Los Angeles, New York and Portugal; those locations describe the organization rather than a verified personal residence. Its project list records The Little House as an installation and experience presented in Black Rock City, Los Angeles and New York in 2015. Heinrich’s Dreamscape is listed in 2019 as a traveling collective sensory experience associated with New York. Later work extends this approach into design exhibitions, including the Becoming Familiar presentation at Design Miami in 2023. The dated portfolio entries document distinct presentations, without establishing current siting or availability.

Mr and Mrs Ferguson ↗

Lisa and Robert Ferguson work together as Mr and Mrs Ferguson, making public animal sculptures whose surfaces reward close inspection. Their grizzly bears use pennies as a textured covering, turning a familiar small object into the apparent fur of a much larger form. Curious was installed at Google’s public Visitor Experience/Gradient park in September 2022; the artist account describes a carved polystyrene body over steel, penny covering, glass eyes and a hammered-steel nose. Ursa Ravus was installed in Telluride in July 2019. Its project credit names assistants Jane Poynter and Dottie Lester, Tanner Reed for the metal nose and claws, and Bee Kingdom Glass for the eyes. Mum, a mother-and-cub sculpture made in 2022, traveled from Chatsworth’s Radical Horizons exhibition to Mountain Village. That later display’s advertised ending is not proof of a completed removal.

Explore sculptures that physically move: visitor-activated mechanisms, changing forms and wind-driven installations. Compare documented projects, understand how motion shapes the encounter, and identify the site and maintenance questions to resolve with an artist.

Find installations that make listening, musical participation or sound-responsive light part of a place. Compare playable works and spatial compositions, then plan how the experience will share space with visitors, neighbors and everyday activity.
