The Whacked Out Art Of Burning Man (Video)
Sure, Burning Man has been infiltrated by the 1%, and that sucks. But that doesn’t stop anyone from appreciating the spectacle of art it was, and for the time being, still is. Looking back at years past, the time, effort, and ingenuity it takes to set up elaborate art installations in the middle of a desert is still impressive.
The Hand Of Man
No matter your tax bracket you’re in, operating a giant robot hand is cool.
The Temple of Transition
Every year a new temple is built on the playa for people to visit and mourn those who’ve passed and it’s burnt to the ground at the end.
Sunken Pirate Ship
No, you’re not tripping, unless of course you were there in person. Someone built out a sunken pirate ship in the middle of the desert.
Thunder Dome
Thunder Dome has become an institution at Burning Man and who can blame them? Try and spot Steve Ballmer in the midst of all it this year.
Robot Spider Car
Are there more efficient ways to get around from sand bar to the next? Sure. But there isn’t a cooler one. GM should be all over this thing.
Mechanical Flaming Octopus
What’s it all mean? Who knows, fire breathing Octopuses are bad ass.
The Belgian Waffle
Built in 2006, the Waffle was touted as a “message from the future”. Makes sense if the future is just one giant dance party.
Helix
They might as well be worshiping this thing everyone is so high. (Jump to 5:45)
