¡El Pulpo Magnífico!

“While there are many beloved mutant vehicles out there, El
Pulpo, in both of its incarnations, is the most ‘beloved.’” 


~Chef Juke, Communications lead for the Department of Mutant
Vehicles


El Pulpo Magnífico is a 28-foot tall giant octopus, a demented
windup toy, a mobile kinetic sculpture with articulating legs,
eyes, and mouths. It spews fire from its extremities and has been
stealing the limelight for a decade now, first at Black Rock
City, then everywhere from LoveBurn to EDC.

It’s merely the newest and largest expression of artist Duane
Flatmo and his team of engineer artists. Years ago, he gave up
music to pursue art and pursued it from New York to London,
China, and back again. Duane shares how his influences inspired
his innovations and how his resourceful team creates surprises
for people worldwide.
