PETABYTE

MUTANT VEHICLE

After a couple of very harrowing years, we will finally be able to roll out to playa, literally!  That's right, this year we have made it our #1 goal to get Petabyte playa ready to party out in deep playa with her fam, Chip + Terra!

 

Consisting of over a million fiber optics and collaborations from some of our most brilliantly talented friends, Petabyte is our most challenging and extraordinary expression of light, sound and tactility yet. 

 

If you see us on playa, please jump on board and dance with us in the fluffin' dust!

PAST FUTURE

Months before the pandemic, we were well on our way to bringing you a much bigger version of BYTE in 2020. She was our first version of "Petabyte" that made it through the first round of honoraria until...the apocalypse hit.

 

On top of being terrified of a global pandemic, we couldn't help but be a little bummed that we weren't going to be able to build her. Wallowing in quarantine woes, we were about to abandon the idea altogether, until we found ourselves asking "why not mutant vehicle?" and suddenly excitement came coursing through our fuzzy veins once again!  

Although Petabyte has become our mutant vehicle today, take a peek below at what Petabyte could've been, had the entire world not shut down for a year and change!
