Hotel California exists to propagate environmentally conscious technology, art, and living. We prototype systems, open source the designs, and educate people on how to build and deploy similar systems themselves.
We are activating ideas for a regenerative world - as a global non-profit organization and our network of purpose-driven entrepreneurs, creatives & humans - to co-create a new reality that works for everyone and for all life on this planet.
The Solar Library helps small art projects convert to solar power without increasing panels or freight vehicles. Sun powered charging allows Artists to buy batteries not a generator. It is Fusion Powered art!
We build and maintain sustainable shipping containers for everything Burning man. We offer an E-bike charging station, a communal kitchen and powerbank charging and swapping. We offer long term storage and delivery to BRC for the classic black totes with yellow lids. Want to join? Reach out
Planned Playahood is a Burning Man theme camp offering “second aid” services. Our art and community also participate in many regional and decompression events and philanthropy causes.
A Burning Man community free of generators.
We think it’s wild that the world isn’t already running on free, abundant energy provided by the sun. To change that, we created SOLARPUNKS — an interdisciplinary ecosystem designed to help creative industries transition to renewable energy.
A Burning Man Camp that thrives to be a crucible for transformation in Black Rock City.

*Do-ocracy: OSGeo Wiki defines it as “an organizational structure in which individuals choose roles and tasks for themselves and execute them. Responsibilities attach to people who do the work, rather than elected or selected officials."
