The Dicky Box plays with the notion of a isolated psyche amongst a community consciousness. "Dicky" Davies, will be locked into a 10 x 10 plexiglass room on the open playa for the duration of the Burning Man festival, where his perceptions of isolation will be pushed, celebrated, and delivered as a gift to the community. He will be given enough food and water to survive the event, and a medical staff will be on hand to ensure his safety. He will not be able to leave the box, nor will anyone be able to join him. His only interaction with the outside world will be through a standard size parcel slot, and through a screened 6" by 6" portal. Everything else he receives will be at the discresion of Black Rock City's citizens. With his necessities tended to, we invite the community to engage, nurture, and push the needs of one of it's own, as he walks the path thourgh isolation and toward a deeper understand of self.
The Dicky Project will be an experiment of restriction in the world's most unrestrictive community. His experience will be unique.
