Building the Moonpad
The video documents the creation of the "Moonpad," a 20‑foot circular lounge chair installed near Joshua Tree National Park as the flagship art piece for the Reset Hotel. The project begins with digging a hole, installing a three‑inch vertical pipe axle, and fabricating a steel collar and arm to rotate a full‑size plywood template. Construction relies on a hybrid material strategy: sandbags, broken asphalt, and dirt build the mound up to four inches shy of the final height, followed by intermittent concrete pours reinforced with rebar. A playful "rock‑throwing party" with friends reduces the concrete needed, turning labor into a communal event. The final concrete pour uses seven yards of mix, shaped by rotating the template like giant pottery, with additional hand‑poured concrete to smooth steep walls. The finishing touches involve professional plaster work, applying a Santa Barbara‑style smooth coat, and integrating locally sourced stones to blend the Moonpad into the desert landscape. The creator emphasizes that the artwork should be subordinate to nature, offering a sky‑watching gathering spot for guests. By inviting visitors to book a stay at the Reset Hotel and experience the Moonpad, the project merges experiential hospitality with innovative, low‑waste construction, showcasing how art can engage community participation and enhance destination appeal.
