The wealthiest Burning Man attendees set up exclusive luxury camps with staffs of bodyguards and cooks, Recode reported in 2014, calling the area "Billionaire's Row."

This piece explores an alternative Creation Myth, one that laments the human-animal separation and recognizes the sacredness and kinship to all lifeforms, past and present. According to California artist Zoe Fry, The Ovule Project began as a self-portrait and has become an exploration of the feminine self and the value that is found there.The intention of the piece is to ask, “Where the feminine exists, and how does it manifest? How could we value it more, and if we did what would be the benefit?” I believe that in this progressive age of exploring fluid and non-binary gender identity, we have an opportunity to heal the shared cultural wound of the feminine. I believe that healing our relationship to the feminine is the single most effective step we can take towards humanity’s metamorphosis into a creature capable of living in harmonious relationship with its environment." Participants were able to climb up the tower to interact with a set of ropes connected to 99 bells installed at the heights of the structure. In Mesoamerica, animals were not lower beings but neighbours, alter egos and a way to communicate with the gods.

This is where I cried, it’s so moving, especially with all the tributes and remembrances for people who have been lost along the way. I spoke with artist Neal Milch who tells me, "Burning Man itself has metamorphosed from its early history of abundant fire artto a greater preponderance today of art featuring LED programming, projection-mapping, and other software intensive digital art. This reflects the influence of Silicon Valley."

I spoke with artist Blake Marcus, and he tells me, "While speaking with what would eventually become our art crew at the burn last year (Blake Marcus, Seven, Chris Welch, Arsenio, Lindsay Milligan), we joked about how Burning Man had nearly everything. All that was missing was a live whale. We laughed and laughed; then we stopped to think about how we could bring this preposterous idea to the dust." The Flaming Pachinko Machine is 35 feet high and 25 feet wide, featuring 65 custom built perforated steel balls, 5” diameter, stuffed with Kevlar. The balls are soaked in kerosene, loaded into Flaming Pachinko Machine, and set on fire! An elevator mechanism lifts the balls to the top and injects them into a cage with hundreds of steel pins. The flaming balls cascade down in random patterns trailing comet-tails of mesmerizing fire! I don't have much patience for people who don't see the emerging solution set,” Shearer says. “The real question is, can we do it fast enough with these tipping points around the planet?”

According to California based artists Mr. & Mrs. Ferguson, " Bee or Not to Bee is our tribute to one of the hardest workers in the agriculture world, the honey bee. Responsible for pollinating most of the world’s crops, this little essential creature is threatened by climate change and pesticides. We are creating this 14-foot long bee to remind us of the respect we should have for a friend that does much for us."Now, we have the craziest chefs in the world and people who build yurts for us that have beds and air-conditioning," he said. "Yes, air-conditioning in the middle of the desert!"

So, this really depends on you! We were heading to Burning Man from London and we found the cheapest flights to Las Vegas. From there, we drove our rented RV around 10-hours to Burning Man (that’s around 4-hours north of Reno).Kim Cook, Director of Creative Initiatives at Burning Man, said: “We’ve come to understand Chatsworth as a place to foster innovation, creativity, thoughtfulness and thinkers since its early days, something that is also central to our work and ethos at Burning Man. Our hope is that the art in the landscape will provoke joy, new ways of viewing, and be an invitation to make up your own story about meaning as you explore the beautiful expanse of Chatsworth.”
