Burning Man Festival: Make Art and Alienate the Blind

This week kicks off international hippie destination Burning Man Festival, a living installation in the Black Rock Desert created and destroyed over the course of the week by anyone who shows up. That's my rough definition of the fest. According to the uppity website, when asked, "What Is Burning Man?" the formal reply is "Trying to explain what Burning Man is to someone who has never been to the event is a bit like trying to explain what a particular color looks like to someone who is blind."

Read more about the "Principles" of the Burning Man art project, or for something less Kumbaya, check out the archives of past installations at Burning Man.
