Head Maze is a 40 foot mediating mind, resting on one hand and ripping its face off to reveal a crystalline stained glass being. Inside of the mind is an immaculate interactive labyrinth of our subconscious and dreams. It's a massive collaboration dedicated to the complexities of cognition, our common struggle between body and mind, nature and nurture and our persistently fluctuating perception of self. A series of hidden doors in the mouth, wrists and head open into a 4 story, 18 room maze.
Each 10 x 8 foot modular room creates a unique space dedicated to the nature of our minds, our struggles with being and the weird and fanciful process of dreaming. An interactive participatory playground hidden inside a beautiful monumental mind.
Head Maze is our attempt to help everyone who struggles with their mind know that they are not alone, that we struggle too, and it’s ok to feel a little mad in this society. The Head Maze is being built by an incredible army of dedicated artists of all skill levels. And we can only do this with your help!
Head Maze will premiere at Burning Man in 2019 then find a permanent home around California/Nevada.
At the moment we have been lucky to raise a healthy $60,000 of our $190,000 goal. While we've been building this project in earnest, the most difficult challenge we will face is funding this sculpture. And this is where we need YOU! We did not receive a grant from Burning Man, big art is hard enough without the additional burden of raising funds. Your donation, regardless of size helps us to keep building and to keep sharing our art. Here is a high-level breakdown of the associated costs need to build this piece.
Will you help us make the Head Maze real? Please take a look at the rewards and choose one that works for you. Your donation will bring us one step closer to finishing this dream project and sharing it with the world. We have a giant team and your donation will give all of us a big smile :).
Who lives in the mind? What is it trying to share with us? We want to share Head maze with you. Lets cherish and care, let's discover and dare, let's do it together. Thank you for your time and your donation to our grand idea, the Head Maze.

The Zen Garden is a 2 story forest inside of the mind, with a treehouse balcony and the entrance to our Paper Tea house. And the Cityscape is a 3 story neo-gothic quarter at the center of the mind populated by stone buildings, fire escapes and the madness of our connected at the center of our mind! Choose one!

It took 2 years to finalize the design of the Head Maze and Dozens of sculpts to perfect it. This is your chance to have a human scale life sized bronze of the project created and designed by Matt Schultz. We will make exactly one of these. Please note that pursuing perfection takes time (Delivery expected July 2020. In addition to the bronze donors will receive a gold key pendant, lifetime access, and each of the clothing options)
Can we tell you a secret,...the Head Maze is a musical instrument! A big musical instrument, and when everyone works together the head will sing, and make ridiculous beats, and, and,... Your donation will fund the audio, the voice synthesis, and the bio feedback that all links back to the 8 modular synthesizers in the nuclear control room to create a rich cognitive cacophony of sound that will project out from the head like a brilliant grant operatic crescendo, pretty cool right? (Donors will receive a bronze head, gold key pendant, lifetime access, and each of the clothing options)
