| Uchronia Nighttime - 97 sec
Dwarfing all other sculptures, the "Waffle" was the biggest draw at night, as revelers packed into the cavern and danced to electronica bathed in neon-green light. "We didn't use a model, we just started at the bottom and kept adding as we went up," said Jan Kriekels, who said he funded the entire $250,000 project, including buying $250 tickets for the volunteers who spent three weeks building it. They used construction cranes to add the lumber to the top. The 2-inch-by-3-inch beams ranged in size from 8 to 10 feet long and came from the reject pile at a Canadian lumber mill.
Although the artists might be offended by the sculpture's nickname, the installation's true name is "Uchronia" -- named after a Belgian art movement centered on a world without the concept of time, Kriekels said. "This piece is a symbol for a system that creates its own creators. We all did this together without being told how to do it -- we are factory workers, bookmakers, editors, designers, artists, salespeople -- and we can only do this if we refuse to be defined," he said.
