The Beetle Man (2024) is an all-stainless steel mechanical beetle. Featuring spinning, holographic LED eyes, polished stainless body panels, and capacity for 6 people, the beetle takes inspiration from diverse art forms, including biomechanical art from masters like H.R. Giger, to Burning Man’s long mutant vehicle history.
