Secret Garden Party 2012 Big Burn!

The Big Burn at Secret Garden Party 2012 was once again absolutely spectacular!

The fireworks were fantastic, firing from all over and around the lake illuminating our sculpture beautifully before the fire took hold to the soundtrack of Orbital on the main stage.

Thanks to all the crew who worked really hard through the mud to make this happen.

The Secret Garden Party Lake Sculpture

Pirate Technics have completed the giant lake sculpture for The Secret Garden Party. The sculpture, entitled Ceremony through the Ages, is a vast construction of three heads and central tower dance floor.

Each head stands around 7 metres tall and features a ceremonial headdress, while the central platform is a two tiered dance floor.

Watch this space for more pictures and information to come!

Under the Baobab Installation Complete

We have finally returned to Nottinghamshire from London, with our sculpture Under the Baobab successfully installed in front of the Hayward Gallery beside Waterloo bridge.

Pirate Technics are very pleased with how smoothly everything went and thanks go out to all our friends and family that came to see and support us while we were working long days.

We have since been featured on the BBC website's Day in Pictures http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-18187424 and Yahoo Photos of the Day http://gma.yahoo.com/photos/photos-of-the-day-1337715940-slideshow/photos-of-the-day-photo-1337873673.html
