Little One Near the Orb
Wednesday night , January 19th was the sixth night of “orbing.”
At 7pm there’s a knock on my kitchen door. Will (artist, Matt Burnett’s Dad) needs the key to the Geiger Arena at the Mt. Sabattis orb location. He’s got snow in his beard and he wears a headlamp. “We tripped the circuit.” Having just finished family dinner, I put down the dirty dinner dishes and leave the mashed potatoes cold on the stove and the chicken to coagulate in the pan. I grab my sleeping bag coat, known around town as my homeless person Port Authority coat, but keeps me warm and I head out.
Two moments later – in Long Lake, time is measured in moments as most places in the center of town only take moments to reach, I arrive on the Mt. Sabattis scene to darkness. The orb, located across the street, glistens with LED projected illuminated water movement. Momentarily I’m hypnotized by the moving images, but I snap back to attention and flip through my key ring. I identify the appropriate key by the color and position on the crowded ring. Finally, the silver key next to the town ha Little One Near the Orb

Grab your friends, your camera, the snowboots, or stay in the car, but take the trek out to see what the E-Lumination Art Installation is all about. The images and projections change nightly.

Not only do the images change nightly, the orbs are changing too. With changes in temperature, comes changes to the forms. The orbs are retaining their structure, but artists Burnett and Fuller anticipated the formations would alter their appearance, and become “pocky” and worn down if the weather changed throughout the week. Part of the E-Lumination project continues to be the live experiment of man vs. nature. One never knows what to expect when celebrating winter in the Adirondacks and Long Lake, NY.

Matt and Scott put a wall in place
Fitting with the theme of man against the elements, artists Matt Burnett and Scott Fuller arrived at Mt. Sabattis in Long Lake, NY in two pickup trucks with pre-made eight foot by eight foot wooden forms for the creation of the over- size, larger than humans, snow sculptures appearing in over three locations around Long Lake the week of January 14th through January 22nd.
Matt and Scott unload the forms at 10am
Matt and Scott started the morning out in the snowstorm, which has dropped over six inches of snow and doesn’t seem to be letting up anytime soon. Prior to the storm Matt and Scott had projected that to get enough snow to fill the forms it would take hours to mold and set the forms, but with mother nature’s cooperation this latest storm continues to dump ample amounts of snow which makes the timeline of the project more feasible and more efficient.
Scott and Matt are using power tools, shovels, and propping up the wooden forms next to the Long Lake Town Flagpole, currently flying at half-mast as a mark of respect for the tragic shooting in Tuscon, Arizona.

Long Lake celebrates winter in style the weekend of January 15th and 16th 2011 with the 10th Annual (or maybe 11th, the bean counters are checking) Winter Carnival on Saturday and the Vintage Snosled Races on Sunday, January 17th.
This year winter carnival kicks off at Noon with a celebratory Snowmobile Parade. The idea emerged after last years winter carnival where the ideas flew from installing a chairlift to the top of Mt. Sabattis, inviting clowns, hiring a band, renting a tent and having a radio station broadcast live from the mountain. Among the ideas included the concept of a snowmobile parade.
Starting at Noon snowmobiles will gather at the top of Mt. Sabattis in the parking lot of the Pavilion. Participants will proceed in formation down the hill in a single line showcasing their sleds. Once all the sleds and riders have gathered the Moonlighter’s will regale the crowd with the traditional coronation of the King and the Queen of Winter Carnival.
