This is as real as it gets! Right now DDI is on a boat sailing across the Atlantic ocean on its way to Denmark for Smukfest. In fact it’s that boat you see above! Our container is enjoying the luxuries of the Sealand Eagle during this journey. Here’s some info on the boat:

Vessel Name: SEA LAND EAGLE
Call Sign: WKAE
Year Built: 1997
Ship Builder: Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co. (aka IHI) (Official Site)
Length: 900.3ft

Fun fact: IHI developed the world’s largest floating LPG production, storage, and offloading facility: Sanha LPG-FPSO.

Want to track the boat across the ocean? Sailwx.info has a cool ship tracker. Here’s the Sealand Eagle

Dance Dance Immolation is Shipped!

June 5, 2009


Last night we finished up all the packing and bracing of DDI in the container and shut the doors on a long couple weeks of work. Next time we see DDI we’ll be in Denmark for Smukfest!

Since this will be Interpretive Arson’s first oversea voyage, the container had to be christened. Jonathan had the honor of smashing the ceremonial champagne (a bottle from 1995 celebrating the release of Adobe Pagemaker 6) across the “bow”.

Dance Dance Immolation at Denmark’s Smukfest

DDI is Going to Smukfest - photo by Ed

This fall, Dance Dance Immolation will be having a special run. While we’re very used to running DDI on the desert, this August we’ll actually be running on water for the first time! In addition, we’ll also be running on the other side of the ocean! Dance Dance Immolation is getting a passport and is going to Denmark for Smukfest in our first international run.

Smukfest is a 5 day music festival set in the woods of Skanderborg, Denmark with headliners such as Kylie Minogue, Fatboy Slim, The Streets, Aqua, etc. The multi-stage festival is set amongst trees, so at the request of fire officials we will be running away from such flammable objects. The best place to run fire art? On a raft in a lake.  We’re looking forward to this unique run, and even moreso to the chance to convince Kylie Minogue to give the game a try so we can shoot her with fire while she dances to her own songs.
