"Everything Is Terrible is one of Meow Wolf’s most prolific partners, creating a variety of psychedelic characters for various installations over the years. The collective dreamed up the N.E.S.T. about two years ago as a way of paying tribute to maximalist roadside attractions like Wisconsin’s House on the Rock or New Mexico’s Tinkertown Museum. It also tells the story of the Noothies, a made-up community of former below-the-line film workers who stumbled upon a god — and a hidden truth about the nature of reality."

Thanks to Everything is Terrible for the shoutout in the LA Times! Looking so forward to exploring the Los Angeles Meow Wolf.

The found footage collective Everything Is Terrible has big, immersive plans for the soon-to-open Meow Wolf L.A. Here's what we know about its installation, "the N.E.S.T."

At Tinkertown we are all about recycling, re-using and repurposing! Bottles stand in for bricks, saved rainwater hydrates the plants, and old license plates patch the boardwalk! As you wander the museum see if you can spot other items that have been given a second life. Adopt a pinecone (or three) and start your own project!
