Berzerkatroid Dragon
Berzerkatroid Dragon (2017) is a towering, interactive art piece crafted from recycled curved stainless steel tubing. This giant, rideable dragon features a pilot seat, complete with addressable LED lighting, a fog machine, and a drum device for added engagement. Most striking are its propane-powered flame effects, which shoot flames up to five feet from its jaws. The installation also includes nine musical propane flame effects, creating a dramatic visual and auditory experience.
Berzerkatroid Dragon was exhibited at Lumiere in Vancouver in 2018, as well as at various venues in Vancouver, Burnaby, and Victoria. Available for exhibition or rental, this piece adds a thrilling and immersive spectacle to any event or installation.poxy.
History & Technical Features
Originally created in 2017, Berzerkatroid Dragon has been a dynamic presence at festivals and exhibitions.
Fire Effects: Initially, a propane flame effect produced a 4-ft burst of fire from the dragon’s mouth, controlled by a lever-operated system from the pilot seat. In 2023, eight additional propane jets were installed on the wings, each producing a musical note when triggered via a simple keyboard.
Construction: Built primarily from stainless steel tubing, the dragon is lightweight (550 lb) and mobile, with built-in wheels for easy transport.
Recent Upgrades: A new set of solenoids and tubing connections were installed to meet modern safety codes.
Fabrication: The propane fire system was designed by Daniel Stratten of Think Industrial, following NFPA standard 160 for flame effects.
