"We live in a postmodern world. Everything
that's every happened is happening now, yet nothing is terribly compelling. On
the one hand you have immense freedom; on the other hand you have this
intense
anomie. You can communicate with anybody on the world in the
Internet,
but so what? Here we've resorted to a kind of primal psychology, a level of experience
that lies at the heart of all ritual: primordial, pre-verbal, prehistoric. The
genesis of that feeling is standing around a camp fire. You have to reach back
that far to find something that's going to bring people together. And we're going
at it in a very American, very pragmatic way. We're doing it because it works.
There's nothing
supernatural
about it."
- Larry Harvey - founder
Burning Man 1998. after the community
dance,
during a
surreal
morning on the last day, the
Blue
Room fire truck hoses down a crashed and burning
UFO
that housed the laser show the previous night.

"I believe that the artist doesn't
know what he does. I attach even more importance to the spectator than to the
artist. " -
Marcel
Duchamp
which brings an interesting note
to the Burning Man experience. on my first and only appearance, i did
become a spectator consciously. it was almost a sense of "reverse discrimination"
so that if you didn't "participate" in their very narrow definition, the social
construct comes into play just like any other (mainstream) society. you
feel peer pressure to comform to their standard of "participation". that is
why it is most important for me to define
TAZ
as an automagickally participatory event (find it and show up, and you become
the party - not the dj's or "performers"). so basically i walked away
from Burning Man disappointed in one sense: that they are just as sociologically
fascistic as any other non-temporary, non-roaming gathering (burning man is
NOT a TAZ, as it's located at the same spot every year, it has become a routine).
i walked away with pride knowing that again, i was on the outside, by a gathering
of so-called outsiders, which negated the whole notion of "art" at burning man.
i see more "art" by people who do not do "art" in the traditional sense, who
show up to
dance
and feel free in many different locations under the
full
moon. - @Om* 1/16/02
