many of you have enjoyed Harlen Gruber's "Diamond Portal" over the past few years. to help jog your memory the Diamond Portal always sat at 11:11 in deep space and combines sacred geometry, immersive environments, and user modulated sound installation to create an incredible sensory experience and, Harlan believes, a portal for the transformation of humanity.
the "Diamond Portal" has consistantly been a project i look forward to each year with mischeivous glee and has been the scene of several vaguely remembered crimes against mundanity. the site of the Diamond Portal burning amongst the ruins of the temple in 2005 is an image permanently branded on what's left of the good side of my brain.
this year Harlan has plans to make a much MUCH larger version of his portal, the Sapphire Portal. it will again include sacred geometry, immersive environments, and user modulated sound installation, but will be taking these elements to much greater plains.
unfortunately - unforgiveably, some might say - Harlan was over looked during the granting process (in their defense he was up against some brilliant competition - www.burningman.com/installa...fund.html - awesome right??) and is trying to fund the Sapphire Portal on his own dime and the dime of those willing to support him.
he is now accepting PayPal donations which will get you in return a pendant representing either the Diamond Portal or this years Sapphire Portal. to donate go here:

if you're curious, here is a piece Erik Davis wrote about this last month:

here's hoping we can help Harlan blow several thousands unsuspecting minds once again.
