BIM to Burning Man

What do you know about the connection between art and construction? Sharon DeMattia had a vision for We. The people, but she needed some way to illuminate that vision and create a visual representation – she needed clarity. 

Enter Mark Oden, CEO of BIM Designs Incorporated. Along with the business values of trust and relationships, the BIM Designs company culture encourages community engagement, and that’s where the creative collaboration with DeMattia was born. 

Two of the company’s BIM designers, Brian Burlbaugh and Ty Christensen, volunteered to take all the “moving parts” of DeMattia’s vision and help create a Revit model of it, including lighting, shading and the way everything would get built.

Sharon is trained in research and facilitates multi-sensory art experiences in order to integrate digital and physical spaces, cultivate trust, and open creative spaces. Mark is a Cisco Pioneer Award winner and Best of Interop Finalist for his work as Product Manager for the WebEx and Media Services Interface integration. He specializes in key focus areas of Android, Mobility, Software as a Service, Video, Collaboration, and Unified Communications.
