AlchemEyes is a large-scale art installation created by House of Fabl for Burning Man 2024 — a 36-foot-tall abstract representation of the human visual cortex, imagined as a sacred monument to perception, symbolism, and the spark of imagination.

At its base, six supergraphic panels radiate outward, each representing an archetypal source of perceptive inspiration: Primal, Human, Ocean, Nature, Sky, and Cosmos. These visual forms act as symbolic inputs — the raw material through which the mind forms meaning.

Rising from the center is a 7,000-pixel LED sculpture that pulses with light and rhythm, mimicking the synaptic flash of neural pathways as they fire across the imagination. The sculpture simulates the very process of seeing — both with the eyes, and beyond them.

Through form, symmetry, and light, AlchemEyes invites participants to soften their gaze and step beyond the mundane — to rediscover the innate curiosity that once transformed a child’s sandbox into a cosmos of potential. It is both altar and antenna, a perceptual portal built for wonder.
