Silence after 2016 despite photos of new wiring, I wonder what happened to it...

  I often see this sort of thing and wonder a lot about the individuals involved. Things change, shit happens, people move on etc. Often fascinating, sometimes sad to hear about deaths or bereavements etc, but even in those cases it feels somehow "right" to enjoy their work after they've gone.

    “nocturnal creature of the Playa” in the text would seem to indicate it’s a burning man project (never been but I know a couple people that go). Things in the world are a lot more fleeting than I expected, so I enjoy them in the moment. This giraffe is a fun, amazing passion project.

      > Things in the world are a lot more fleeting than I expected But you can’t kill an idea. The reproduction of the thing is more thingy than the thing, since “things in the world” are expected to be less fleeting. Electric Giraffe dies, long live Electric Giraffe

  I saw the giraffe less than a year ago at Maker Faire, so they have kept it working.

  It goes back to 2006 (https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://electricgiraffe.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://electric...) but I guess we'll put 2016 in the title. Thanks!
