48 hrs to go for Logan and Russell's Burning Man Kickstarter Project

Just two days (and as of this writing, about 50 bucks) to go for the Overlook Burning Man Project to reach its kickstarter goal. Here's some info on the project: Kickstarter link here: http://kck.st/LkED8y From the Kickstarter page: Conceptually the piece revolves around a simple idea. If you raise your feet at or past your original eye level then look into a periscope that is oriented down such that your view is identical to its original, you have dematerialized your body. Thus you have become a point. Once you have realized this perspective, your view is then activated with the sense that you could simultaneously be in the landscape you are viewing. (This makes a little more sense once you've watched the embedded video).
