A 30-Foot Skull Will Ignite Burning Man In A Blaze Of Projection Mapped Glory

The Creators Project: Every year at the end of August, tens of thousands of people swarm into the Nevadan desert to form the anything-goes steampunk 'civilization' of Black Rock City for Burning Man. Known for— among other things— being an incubator for incredible high-tech art projects, while the yearly arts and culture festival has it’s own glossary as well as a list of ten guiding ‘principles,’ as with any city, it’s meant to be experienced. With a plethora of art installations, and even its own Department of Public Works, their website admits that, “trying to explain what Burning Man is, to someone who has never been to the event, is a bit like trying to explain what a particular color looks like to someone who is blind.” Or, explaining steampunk to a bunch of insects.
