The Flybrary, a 40-foot installation at Burning Man 2019 by Taos artist Christina Sporrong, featured a reading library within an giant human head, one that had been partially cut open at the top to allow a flock of illuminated birds to emerge. Sporrong described the piece as "a dreamy, transformative space providing an intimate and surreal refuge for contemplation, written wisdom and freedom of thought."
