Floating art, including art boats, is an essential part of the Ephemerisle experience.
Projects for 2015
Central Platform
The central platform was a key component for many a year's Ephemerisle. Platform projects require enough money for build materials and storage. 20'x28' is a popular size.
Past projects:
2014
CubeShip
| A giant floating structure supporting multiple layers of hammocks.
More pictures at CubeShip Construction 2014 Artist: Matt Bell |
Hot Tub
|
A sunken hot tub, using a sheet of neoprene to separate the hot water from the cold. It took 50 gallons of propane in rented tanks, an entire roll of 1/4 inch neoprene, 2 above ground pools, 5-10 cans of 3m 80 spray adhesive, 150' of PVC pipe, and several hundred wo-man-hours on everything from gluing insulation, to building and decorating the shade structure, to repairing the hot tub heater and filtration system. Artist: Jane Huang |

A quiet space in which to recharge without any social pressures. Artist: Laura Salcido |

2012
Cuddle Gallery
|
This 24'x28' platform and dome was the coziest place at Ephemerisle - a place to admire art, exchange ideas and dream! With lots of padding and pillows on the floor, this shelter from wind and sun was a chill space for festival attendees, showing art during daytime and evening hours. After hours this was a sleeping space for many of those who helped make it happen. Art on display included the Jellyfish and paintings by Kristy. Artist: Kristy Hilands |
The Bearded Lady
|
Be the Bearded Lady. Artist: Gerry Deckert; Ephemerisle 2012 |
Lemonade and Lasers
| A floating lemonade stand with lasers, and maybe underwater lights too!

2011
Water Slide
|
A semi-floating water slide for quick boat evacuation. Artist: Erin Rapacki; Ephemerisle 2011, 2012 |
Cuddle Tent
|
A colorful and semi-private place to snuggle up. (Not a sex tent.) Artist: Matt Bell, Kate _?; Ephemerisle 2011 |
Tilting Game Platform
|
This 8'x 8' platform is designed to hold up to 2 people and allow them to tilt the platform and thus roll a ball by moving around. There are lots of interesting interfaces you could get out of having one or more people control a ball in this manner. It would be a chance for people to hone their sea legs in a game of balance. The platform could be reconfigurable, with different surfaces added or removed to switch games.

2010
The Relentless Artstead Boat Project
|
Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Relentless-Artstead-Boat-Project/100198673362740 Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2115247821/the-relentless-artstead-boat-project From their site: Our mission is to create a mobile community resource on which to explore the possibilities of art, performance, and seasteading while bringing boating into the world of art and art into the world of boating. Crew members from the project "Swimming Cities of Serenissima" by the artist Swoon have teamed up with an all star crew of Bay Area artists to salvage a 1945 hand crafted houseboat. We plan to convert the boat into a mobile artstead in the ad-hoc style of San Francisco's unique D.I.Y. arts community. The Seasteading Institute has provided funding for the purchase of the boat and the rest is up to us! The boat has been lifted out of the water, repaired, and inspected. Once underway we have been utilizing recycled materials, including a converted Mercedes diesel car engine, to make the vision come to life. The next step is to move The Relentless from her current location in Bethel Island to the San Francisco Bay where she will continue to evolve through community input and ingenuity. Collaborators include: Ben Burke, Anja Ulfeldt, Anton Bertaux, Chicken John Rinaldi, James (Skippy) Cross, and many many more to come. |
Dandelion (aka, the world's largest koosh ball)
|
Made from close to 300 pool noodles, the Dandelion was the Epic Pool Toy of Not-Ephemerisle 2010. More information at http://nasu-dengaku.livejournal.com/tag/koosh Artist: Matt Bell |
2009
Floating Swing
|
The floating swing was one of the interactive toys from Ephemerisle 2009. Artist: Dav Yaginuma |
Ripple Theater
|
The Ripple Theater used the ripples in the water as an analog ray-tracer to create trippy visual effects from a projector's image. People dancing on platforms nearby created ripples in time with the music, which then created synced visuals on the screen. Details at http://nasu-dengaku.livejournal.com/232033.html Here's Matt Bell's blog post on Ephemerisle 2009 with pictures of all the art projects that year: http://nasu-dengaku.livejournal.com/236560.html Artist: Matt Bell; Ephemerisle 2009 |
Turtle Boat
|
Artist: Unknown; Ephemerisle 2009 |
Achievement Lounge
|
People who reached the end of the path to the Achievement Lounge got free beer. Then they had to try to get back. Details at http://nasu-dengaku.livejournal.com/232720.html Artist: Matt Bell; Ephemerisle 2009. |
Apocaisle
|
Apocaisle was an impressively large two-story pirate boat from Ephemerisle 2009. Creators include Paul Bohm and many others. |
