One of the principles of Burning Man is to leave no trace — an expectation that all attendees will pack out everything they brought to Black Rock City and clean out their camps before leaving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the aftermath of torrential rains that closed roads, jammed traffic and forced many to walk miles barefoot through the muck, the area is dotted with abandoned vehicles, rugs, furniture, tents and trash. In a normal year, the desert floor is harder and easier to navigate, but flooding and deep imprints from vehicles spinning tires in the muck have made traveling there more difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, many attendees descended on the airport in Reno, Nevada, to get last-minute flights home. Car washes at times turned away vehicles too caked in mud and clay, according to KTVN-TV in Reno.

As this film explains, the group has also, at various times, built a cemetery on a Trump golf course (“Here lies decency” read one of the tombstones), and built a rat-infested cell inside a Trump Hotel room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003cem>The Art of Protest\u003c/em> is not simply an advertisement for the activism of INDECLINE. The 45-minute film also features a fairly astonishing array of voices from the art, music and protest worlds, all of whom passionately share their views about the important role art can have in changing the world.

This year, you can turn on your webcam or virtual-reality headset to attend an art class or DJ dance party—or even join a virtual \u003ca href=\"https://kindling.burningman.org/events/gratitude-circle-group-hug-with-halcyon/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">group hug\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the desert, the Burning Man Temple is typically a place spacious enough for people to walk into and reflect, grieve or leave an offering. This year, you can \u003cem>sort of\u003c/em> do that at the \u003ca href=\"https://kindling.burningman.org/multiverse/temple/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ethereal Empyrean Experience\u003c/a> with a mobile device, desktop, or VR headset.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ed Cooke, one of the creators of \u003ca href=\"https://sparklever.se/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SparkleVerse\u003c/a>, says that to recreate the desert experience, burners—as attendees are called—have set up tents in their living rooms and dressed up in costumes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Getting up and dancing in front of your screen, bothering to put on a costume, jumping around, these things are extraordinarily powerful in terms of taking you into new realms of experience,” he says. “Radical self-expression” is one of Burning Man’s 10 Principles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooke admits that online he doesn’t experience “the sense of awe of the scale of things” he experiences in the desert, but he’s convinced the kind of joyful, communal experience he’s had there in the past can be achieved virtually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other burners are having none of it. “It’s not the same thing,” says Douglas Wolk, who’s been going to Burning Man for 20 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13885767\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13885767\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/brcvr-playa-wide-shot_wide-0e86c5bb1e765ac633d607e8deda837d7da879d9-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"BRCvr was created by Athena Demos, Doug Jacobson and Greg Edwards, who are longtime burners.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/brcvr-playa-wide-shot_wide-0e86c5bb1e765ac633d607e8deda837d7da879d9-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/brcvr-playa-wide-shot_wide-0e86c5bb1e765ac633d607e8deda837d7da879d9-1020x573.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/brcvr-playa-wide-shot_wide-0e86c5bb1e765ac633d607e8deda837d7da879d9-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/brcvr-playa-wide-shot_wide-0e86c5bb1e765ac633d607e8deda837d7da879d9-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/brcvr-playa-wide-shot_wide-0e86c5bb1e765ac633d607e8deda837d7da879d9.jpg 1464w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">BRCvr was created by Athena Demos, Doug Jacobson and Greg Edwards, who are longtime burners. \u003ccite>(Kye Horton/Burning Man)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Wolk says he keeps going back to Burning Man because he believes in its principles such as no advertising and immediacy, which organizers describe as seeking “to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wolk says, when everyone is off the grid together, the relationships are unlike anything else. “All kinds of people meet in this difficult, sometimes frustrating environment and they’re pretty much all there to help each other,” he says. “It’s really not the same thing to be sitting in front of your computer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Longtime Burning Man artist Jennifer Lewin has mixed feelings about this year’s virtual festival.

Kim Cook, director of creative initiatives at Burning Man Project, says the goal this year is “connection and creativity and sharing experiences.” With some 90 events taking place around the world, she says “the ethos of Burning Man is not restricted to one location.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The culmination of the festival is the burning of the giant sculpture of the Burning Man.

So much effort, resources, thought and passion are put together to express the voice of a single group of artists—white men—to a singular audience: predominantly white people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with these ongoing conversations within and outside of the Burning Man community, the show is populated with placards touting Burning Man’s activist-sounding ideals, with little thought to whether the festival lives up to its stated principles.

There’s also little information about \u003ca href=\"https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/8527874/evolution-electronic-music-burning-man\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">music at Burning Man\u003c/a>, which has coalesced into its own subgenre, and how the festival is now regarded as an electronic dance music (EDM) destination.

The skilled craftsmanship and visual appeal of \u003cem>Temple of Reunion\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Gamelatron Bidadari\u003c/em> are undeniable, and they are some of the most beautiful pieces in the exhibit.

Rachel McCrafty), a Bay Area artist who created an interactive piece for the exhibit called \u003cem>Gift-o-Matic\u003c/em>, where viewers can make necklaces and origami butterflies to put in a giant gumball machine for others to take home. “The amazing, life-changing experiences, the art, the desert sun, the challenges, the things I learn about myself—things I love. Things I don’t love? So much effort, resources, thought and passion are put together to express the voice of a single group of artists—white men—to a singular audience: predominantly white people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with these ongoing conversations within and outside of the Burning Man community, the show is populated with placards touting Burning Man’s activist-sounding ideals, with little thought to whether the festival lives up to its stated principles. Walking through it, I wished that—like many OMCA shows have skillfully done (most recently, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13854867/at-omca-californias-past-present-and-future-is-queer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Queer California\u003c/em>\u003c/a>)—it would have made a greater effort to realistically examine the festival’s broader social context.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An adjoining smaller exhibition, \u003cem>City of Dust: The Evolution of Burning Man\u003c/em>, organized by the Nevada Museum of Art, does little to examine how Burning Man’s reputation at large transformed from an anarchist hippie gathering to a playground for the rich, instead displaying early flyers and photos from Burning Man’s Baker Beach days. There’s also little information about \u003ca href=\"https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/8527874/evolution-electronic-music-burning-man\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">music at Burning Man\u003c/a>, which has coalesced into its own subgenre, and how the festival is now regarded as an electronic dance music (EDM) destination. With high-profile acts like Diplo and Flume performing in recent years, Burning Man’s EDM aspect certainly adds to a mainstream, commercial appeal largely unmentioned in the exhibit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13868167\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13868167\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Inner-Orbit-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"HYBYCOZO, Inner Orbit , 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Inner-Orbit-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Inner-Orbit-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Inner-Orbit-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Inner-Orbit-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Inner-Orbit-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/Inner-Orbit.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">HYBYCOZO, Inner Orbit, 2017. \u003ccite>(Image courtesy of the Cincinnati Art Museum, photography by Leigh Vukov.)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Without this context, \u003cem>No Spectators\u003c/em> does a good job inspiring its audience to \u003cem>want\u003c/em> to believe in Burning Man’s ideals through sheer eye candy.
