Burning Man Quotes

“Die Sonne war bereits vor einiger Zeit hinter der Gebirgskette untergegangen, und rund um die Bergspitzen leuchtete ein goldener Kranz, als hätte jemand hinter ihnen eine Taschenlampe eingeschaltet. Jean folgte dem Farbverlauf des Himmels von seinem anfänglichen Lila über ein tiefes Königsblau bis zu dem beginnenden Schwarz direkt über ihnen. Unzählige Sterne glitzerten über ihren Köpfen, als hätte jemand eine Handvoll winziger Diamantsplitter in die Höhe geworfen.”

“If you don't think the tech and marketing worlds have less than six degrees of separation from the San Francisco art underground, then you've never seen them camp together at Burning Man. Sometimes they resent and loathe each other, but they still go to some of the same sex parties.”

“It's impossible to say that live art enjoys any single status in the information age--there are versions of live art that are still primarily art-world phenomena, others that appeal to much broader audiences. The Burning Man festival is a case in point--an event featuring performance that is itself a performance, which partakes simultaneously of frontier mythology, a counter-cultural impulse, and popular cultural visibility.”

“If someone like Karl Rove had wanted to neutralize the most creative, intelligent, and passionate members of his opposition, he'd have a hard time coming up with a better tool than Burning Man. Exile them to the wilderness, give them a culture in which alpha status requires months of focus and resource-consumptive preparation, provide them with metric tons of psychotropic confusicants, and then... ignore them. It's a pretty safe bet that they won't be out registering voters, or doing anything that might actually threaten electoral change, when they have an art car to build.”

“I like going to Burning Man, for example. That's an environment where people can try out different things. I think as technologists we should have some safe places where we can try out some new things and figure out what is the effect on society, what's the effect on people, without having to deploy kind of into the normal world.”

“There have been women who stumbled across Feministing randomly, through a bizarre Google search or something, and had no idea what feminism was. They thought it was something older women do, or bought into the hairy bra-burning man-hating stereotype 100 percent. Anything that deviates from that is very exciting for them.”
