The Sapphire Portal is an evolutionary interface that will provide an environment for personal and planetary transformation. All that will be seen upon approaching it at 1:11 in the deep playa is a 10 foot high sky blue cylindrical wall 60 feet in diameter with one 5 foot high, 4 foot wide entry to the inside facing the sunrise. Once inside, the sloping interior face of the sky blue wall will block the horizon, and a sky blue floor covering will complete the effect of floating in the sky. Several large white cloud cushions will be scattered about for seating. In the center are three nested geometric shapes based on the Earth’s evolving energetic pattern. The center most is a half dodecahedron three feet high painted maroon that houses the Quasar Wave Transducer sound sculpture that produces low frequency vibrations in the range of brain waves and earth resonance. Surrounding that is a steel frame of a half icosidodecahedron with the 4 foot triangular faces covered in stainless steel mirror. The outermost shape is a half icosahedron with the top covered in aluminet shade cloth. Lighting at night is provided by blue LEDs around the edge of the wall and around the icosahedron shade structure. With the rising sun a section of the Portal opens up making a pathway to connect to the vastness of the playa, and the Portal's place within it.
Originally
most of the Earth’s major holy sites had a feature I call
Blue Dishes under them….A Blue Dish is a flattened parabolic
dish made of light and placed like a tea saucer under the “cups”
of sacred sites. The idea was that the angelic world sent down high
consciousness and light vibrations…humans grounded it, and
it was collected in the Blue Dishes….Just as the angelic light
could permeate the entire Earth…it could also be reflected
back to permeate the entirety of the atmospheric space or volume.
This regular circulation of angelic light and energies through the
sky grid helped to regulate not only the planet’s weather,
both globally and locally, but the quality and mobility of humanity’s
thoughts and their reciprocal effects on atmospheric conditions.

Daniel Pinchbeck, author 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl writes:
Harlan Emil Gruber's sculptures
at Burning Man have been an underground favorite over the last few years.
Combining sound installation with geometric form, they have offered
a beautifully multidimensional experience to visitors who often spend
hours lounging on the sculpture's platform, bathing in the aural frequencies
from his unique Quasar Wave Transducer. While much of the art at Burning
Man tends toward camp or pop surrealism, Harlan’s work references
Sol Lewitt and other minimalists, as well as the history of sound installations,
and a bit of the monolith in 2001. For 2007, Harlan plans to scale up
from previous years, offering a lesson on inter-nested geometries in
his ambitious Sapphire Portal, which is sure to be a humming crowd-pleaser
out in the deep playa.
In my book, 2012, I explored the possibility of a global shift in consciousness.
Gruber's piece represents a valiant effort to capture that evolution
in its melding of science, sacred geometries, and ambient sounds. Such
creative dedication and ambition deserves to be supported and rewarded
generously.
