Learn About Long Feng, the Largest Art Car at Burning Man 2025

mymodernmet.com: Burning Man is where artistry, innovation, and community meet. For nine days, Black Rock Desert in northwestern Nevada becomes Black Rock City, and the playa is where it all takes place. Art installations and performances happen throughout the event, and in 2025, the Long Feng art car brought them together in one incredible moving stage.

Burning man is an absolute enigma to me. From what I understand it is a week long art festival where the primary purpose is to simply exist with these pieces of art. Now this art car is absolutely stunning. I am somewhat confused as to how the art car “performs” because it certainly looks like a show. The article highlighted that the show itself focuses on Asian culture and sharing this specific underrepresented demographic at Burning Man. The photos of Long Feng itself are absolutely stunning. Just looking at it at a glance conveys very clearly its intentions. You can tell it highlights asian culture while having that very distinct Burning Man flare. I absolutely loved the commentary on how this piece, and how other art, inherently takes from the past in designing for the future. You cannot view art in a non contextual way as art as its very core is an expression of the human condition.
