Take your first step into the Everywhen - a new journey embarked upon by those who revel in the ethereal circus of art and performances, where desert landscapes breathe life into fantastical dreams.
​
We chose "The Electric Universe" for our inaugural theme not only because it was integral to an art project we named “The Temple of Everywhen,” but because of its controversial theory that suggests instead of gravity, it is electrical (plasmic) forces causing change and movement on the micro and macrocosmic scale. The mysteriously compelling evidence can be found simultaneously in a lab as well as ancient, common petroglyphs found throughout the world in disparate cultures.
Not a lot of theories can rock the foundation of what we think we “know” quite so hard as the Electric Universe, but we feel at our core it is our own responsibility to challenge what we view as standard or common knowledge. It is our duty to grow and explore, not through predesignated paths or beliefs long held, but to harness the electric energy of passion-driven creators and patrons. Life without confrontation, especially internal, is capable of crippling our minds. The Electric Universe embraces the discomfort of leaving behind familiarity to remap the desert into a parallel world - a new time, a different experience!
Cross the event horizon to explore surreal, perspective-warping art both large and small, radioactive vehicles roving around the city shuttling sound stages about, shatter barriers between reality and the everywhen. Each distinct city sector offers each the opportunity to explore without ridicule, every neighborhood has its own blend of flavors from the surrounding residents. Find your site (or reserve a deed!) and flourish within. Prepare for the satisfying struggles and strifes the Mojave has to conquer, rise to the heights of your imagination and thrive in the expanse of the Everywhen!
Saturday around sundown will mark the beginning of the Grand Soirée, the finale of the Electric Universe event, and the night where festivities shall reach climactic and booming new heights!
Desert Survival & Taking Care of You
While the Electric Universe lies in close(ish) proximity to the established world, coming prepared for every scenario is a must. The Mojave climate is one of extremes with common temperature shifts of 40+ degrees paired with strong and sometimes ceaseless winds.
​
Here are some desert camping basics: YOU alone are responsible for your own food, water, shelter, shade, transportation, and above all- self care! Dress yourself to reflect your innermost existential truths, or just to stand out from a crowd so your camp-mates can find you easily passed out in the cuddle puddle down the road. Cooking fires are allowed, provided you have an extinguisher or bucket of sand nearby, so bring what you need to keep yourself warm! You are responsible for your experience, your impact, and especially your garbage- this is a Leave No Trace (LNT) event, after all. Don’t be trashy!!

Why we Do It
Humans were born to create, tinker, tweak, and build. These actions are perhaps the purest form of communication, of expressing curiosity, adapting to the unfamiliar. The magic of transmuting intentions into creation is a tradition that Everywhen Project strives to bring into the future. The special bonds formed while building something awe-inspiring on a blank, desert canvas can turn into life-long friendships.
The Everywhen is where time collapses into one plane, where infinite possibilities form at the whim of the imagination, where knowledge can be reached by those who seek it. EWP was formed to build new experiences for those daring souls who enjoy desert arts festivals where survival isn’t given, but rather earned. Battling the elements, sharing struggles with those around you- that’s how the strongest communities are built. The Everywhen was conceived as a philosophical minefield meant to bend realities constructed wholly on preconceptions, in the hopes of broadening their mindscapes to think BIGGER, to energize their vigor for life.
In short, we do what we do to keep Imagination alive- no matter how old you are outside the Everywhen, everyone inside the event horizon is embarking on the same new journey to create a fresh perspective on what is possible in this electric world.
