Interpretive Arson is in the new NIMBY space and we’re working on getting it into shape for working again. We’ve added a 40ft container to our fleet of containers, but it involved some work. We had to empty it out and knock down a wall that had previously split it into two rooms. Nicole, Ian, Reed, and Ed had perhaps too much fun with this destruction, as the above video shows.

Timescale Project Proposal Submitted
January 28, 2009 Ed Hunsinger
Timescale is a new project from Ardent Heavy Industries, the not-fire-centric parent group to Interpretive Arson. Timescale is a journey through 4.57 billion years of planet Earth’s geological and biological evolution, extended across one mile (5280 feet) of open playa. Beginning with the formation of the Earth from a cloud of gas and dust, participants will traverse through time — advancing two million years with each footstep, culminating at the present day. Each chapter in Earth’s growth is highlighted along the way, allowing participants to appreciate the transformation of our planet and the exponential complexity of living things. Each chapter in Earth’s history will be a 6.5ft tall 8in x 8in column of concrete with art representative of that chapter inside.
The proposal for Timescale was recently submitted to the BMORG for funding. I’ll let Morley explain this unique proposal:
Hello fabulous beautiful creative people!
I’m very very excited to share with you the fruits of many weeks of devoted effort on the part of myself, Nicole, Ian, Star, Colin, Nina, Brody, Reed, Ramon, Ed, CTP, and countless friends and reviewers:

Last Thursday night, Nicole and I submitted the hard copy of our proposal at BMHQ. The hard copy, in this case, consisting of a 12″ concrete cube, hollow down the center, with a 52.8 ft long rope inside, marked out at 1/100 scale of the final project. The cube was finished top and bottom with mild steel plates, with the printed/bound proposal mounted atop the top plate under a piece of clear 1/4″ acrylic. And the whole heavy shebang was held in a lovely rope sling with wooden handles, fashioned by the ever-talented Ian.
Rocks and concrete and love,
Morley

Interpretive Arson is Moving to NIMBY 2.0!
December 4, 2008 Ed Hunsinger
As we all know, the NIMBY we knew and love is no more. That’s the bad news. The good news is that Snook and crew are moving to a new space! We’ve decided to follow them into this awesome new space! *cheering* A mock-up of the new digs is above, and we’re excited to be a part of it.
There’s just one problem, NIMBY still needs to raise enough money to pay deposits on the new space. A large amount has already been raised, but we’re still not at the necessary goal to make this all happen. If you haven’t donated to support NIMBY yet, now is the time! Or if you’ve already donated, consider doing it again. Head over to nimbyspace.org and click on the Donate button. Every dollar helps, so don’t worry if you can only toss a couple bucks their way. Not only will you be helping a Bay Area institution continue operating, you’ll also be providing several Bay Area artists (i.e. Interpretive Arson) with a place to continue building, creating, and inventing plus a permanent place to install some of the large pieces currently hiding in warehouses. Donate now!
UPDATE: Here’s a layout of our potential new workspace done by Nicole.
