Electric Forest is more about atmosphere and experience than the music, and one of the main components of that is the incredible art installations and structures throughout the venue (primarily within Sherwood Forest) that transport attendees to a magical new world. Additionally, the totem landscape of Electric Forest is generally the most impressive, hilarious and diversely wacky of any U.S. festival. Check out the art and totems that dazzled us this year below.

I saw some stunning body paint art throughout the weekend, though this tattoo canvas floored me.

**Handmade Moments** provides relaxing yet goofy entertainment at the cozy new Honeycomb stage. The multitiered design features plenty of spots to rest with numerous vantage points of the surrounding area.

Countless exchanges of “Happy Forest!” rang out each day, but encountering the dopey mug of Forrest Whittaker with this phrase would infect you with a grin even bigger than his.

Spin around under this spaceship-like structure long enough and the aliens beam you up.

The VW hippie van is a wonderful hang-out spot and photo op that gets upgraded each year.

The time is now, to live in the present.

I came up to this group and asked, “What’s his name?” A hilarious wave of embarrassment came over them as they realized they forgot to christen this totem that takes five people to carry. I don’t recall what they came up with, but I dubbed him Slinky Slippy.

The jellyfish umbrella is a classic totem design, and a handful of different ones can be found floating through the crowds each year.

IMG 4017 Pollinator — This giant flower installation would bloom overhead entranced festivalgoers laying down to gaze upon the trippy projection-mapped designs morphing across its surface. After a while, it seemed to even pollinate them with a mysterious spray.

Supremely trippy animations projected onto this wall next to The Honeycomb stop passersby in their tracks to absorb the visual splendor.

George Cooney taxidermy raccoon at festival — This taxidermied raccoon was rescued from a backwoods Kentucky McDonalds parking lot, where he was stationed in a canoe. He was dubbed George Cooney and given new life in the festival circuit. After five years and many memories, his owner is now retiring the adorable rascal.

Speed Raver Electric Cycle — Speed Raver charges up at the Electric Cycle windmill.

While different versions of the dancing goddess have been part of the Forest the last several years, this wizard is a new statue that displayed mesmerizing visual magic at night thanks to magnificent projection mapping.
