Element 11
A Sanctioned, Regional, Burning Man Event
Watch Out for Moving Objects!
A Mutant Vehicle is a unique, motorized creation that either shows little or no resemblance to their original form, or to any standard street vehicle, or is out of context from it’s normal setting (a pirate ship or space ship on the desert, for example). Mutant Vehicles can be built from scratch or are radically, stunningly, and safely modified from their base vehicle.
Mutant Vehicles may include such non-standard motorized forms such as furniture, other non-street vehicles such as a boat or train, animals, or just about anything imaginable. For safety reasons, they must not mimic any type of emergency service or law enforcement vehicle. Vehicles merely stripped to the frame and engine, and vehicles with minimal changes or temporary decorations are not considered Mutant Vehicles.
Mutant Vehicles are integral to the culture and community at Element 11. They contribute to the surreal, visual quality that binds our city together. Applications are required for mutant vehicles and the application process in announce via newsletter and social media for each year. If you are interested in bringing a Mutant Vehicle to Element 11 next year, please read the Mutant Vehicle Policy below so you know what to expect.
