What is Burning Man?
Burning Man is Everywhere!
"Everywhere in a Box!" shows how Burning Man has grown beyond Black Rock City and is bringing the special things we do to the whole world. It highlights the work of Black Rock Solar, Burners Without Borders, and Burning Man Arts, and it shows how all that work grows naturally out of (and back into) Black Rock City. If you're going to be in BRC, stop by the Everywhere Pavillion at 6:25 and Esplanade, meet the people who work on these programs, and find out how to get involved!

Burning Man: Marian Goodell at TEDxTokyo 2014
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Burning Man Global Leadership Conference
The GLC originated in 2007 in the former Burning Man headquarters at San Francisco’s 16th & 3rd Streets. Initially named the Regional Leadership Summit, the conference hosted approximately 80 people who attended from around the world. Workshops were mainly led by Burning Man staff, while attendees and staffers alike forged connections. As that first Summit unfolded, we witnessed the positive knowledge sharing and deepening of relationships that occurred, and we knew we’d continue to convene annually. Our event size has increased with each subsequent year. We have broadened attendance beyond the Regional Contacts to include event producers, community organizers, and other movers and shakers who have influenced their regions with their ideas, input, and actions.Our Burning Man Regional Contacts and community leaders have become experts in their own spheres of influence while their roles have grown more sophisticated in response to their local communities’ growth. To meet these emerging leadership needs, GLC workshops have evolved to include not only skill-based knowledge but also higher level learning, including creating business entities, developing art grant processes, and relevant symposia from inspired organizations such as Burners Without Borders. Offering tremendous benefit to Regional Contacts and our affiliated global leaders, the workshops now provide more peer-to-peer sharing opportunities. Here, groups present their projects and event experiences, and highlight their successes and challenges so that others may build on those ideas and grow to the next level in their own communities.

Burning Man founder Larry Harvey talks to Frmr Congressman Dennis Kucinich :: 2015 Burning Man GLC
Former US Representative Dennis Kucinich sat down with Burning Man founder Larry Harvey for a conversation at the 2015 Burning Man Global Leadership conference in San Francisco. Dennis participated in the Burning Man event in Nevada in 2014 and as he tells Larry Harvey, "I got it in a second." Dennis was so moved by his experience in Black Rock City that he gave the keynote presentation at the 2015 Burning Man Global Leadership Conference. The GLC is an annual conference held in San Francisco where Burning Man organizers, community leaders, and regional contacts come together for an inspiring weekend of conversations and skill sharing.

Burning Man 2012 Seen Miles Away from Mountaintop
Special thanks to OpenOptics from Inspired Flight and John Dearden for the soundtrack. I feel an immense gratitude towards the good friends who climbed to the top of Razor Back. Physically, the climb took a lot from us: I have never come across a more difficult topography. Chapped and tired, it was something quite special to observe the Burning Man event from such a high altitude -- an altitude even the most avid of burners will never know. We filmed with no site of tree nor source of water, and no geography flat enough to fit more than four bodies. Three miles away, three hundred meters above the event, we captured the annual burning of The Man as well as intermittent cacophonies of music and explosions. It is a majestic expression of human energy and art. Many thanks to our hiking partners this year. Jessica Wenger Moreno, Joe Moreno and Jennifer Elliott Phipps, and Jason Phipps.
The 1st Burning Man
The Burning Man of today evolved originally from an annual art party hosted by Mary Grauberger. Taking place on or around the summer solstice on San Francisco's Baker Beach prior to 1986, the art parties had sculpture burning as a central theme. Then in 1986 Larry Harvey, inspired in part by Mary Grauberger's events, asked his friend Jerry James to help him build an 8' effigy to be burned on Baker beach. This event, unnamed at this point, continued annually until 1990 when, the effigy having grown to 40', the police pulled the plug on the parties climactic burn. Meanwhile, Kevin Evans and John Law, of the Cacophony Society, were planning a similar event called Zone Trip #4 - A Bad Day at Black Rock in Nevada's Black Rock Dessert. Harvey and friends, having nowhere to burn the 40' effigy, joined forces with the Zone Trip #4 group and this was the birth of what we now know as Burning Man. The following clip contains footage of an earlier burn at Baker Beach and also the first burn to take place on the Playa.
The 10 Principles of Burning Man
What are the 10 Principles of Burning Man?The Burning Man 10 Principles were written by Larry Harvey, at the request of the other Burning Man founders, in 2004 to help support the demand of the growth of the Burning Man Regional Network. They were written to be *descriptive* not prescriptive. They are not intended to be dogmatic. They form a cultural guide map that is aspirational, not absolute.

This Is Burning Man
'This is Burning Man', by Brian Doherty, is an insightful and provocative look at the first 20 years of Burning Man history. The book traces Burning Man's bohemian roots in groups like the Suicide Club and Cacophony Society, revealing Burner culture's avant garde underpinnings and painting a fascinating picture of the evolution of Black Rock City. On July 24th, 2013 in San Francisco's prestigious Z Space, Brian was joined by Burning Man Founders Larry Harvey and Danger Ranger to talk about Burning Man's past, present, and future, especially as it is exemplified through the Burning Man Project, Burning Man's newest non-profit.

Burning Man 2013 Aerial Drone Tour
www.burningman.comsong: "1000 Oceans" by Sunlight Project
This is my aerial perspective of some of the more interesting parts of Black Rock City 2013 from three radio-controlled unmanned aerial vehicles I operated each morning from Monday to Saturday. I used a fixed-wing foamboard plane, a quadcopter, and a Y6 hexacopter. All video taken with a GoPro Hero 2. The aircraft were controlled via FPV (first person view) with video transmitted back from the aircraft to video goggles.
I did not bring any trinkets, stickers, or gifts to Burning Man this year but I hope this video will remain as a small keepsake and memoir for other burners who can watch again as time goes by. There were too many amazing moments and people for me to remember but some of my favorite people and places are featured and noted in the video. Thank you for making my experience what it was, in the unique way that you did.
All of my video is open and free and encouraged for non-commercial uses. Send me a note if you use it so I can also enjoy your work. If you need raw video send me a PM and I will direct you to a download site.
If you like trance and progressive please check out the most excellent 2-hour weekly SAME Radio Show with Steve Anderson. It is all fresh, amazing, and free! Find the podcast at iTunes or visit: http://www.sameradioshow.com/
Sunlight Project - I hope it's cool I used your song, which I heard on SAME Radio. It hit me as the perfect tune as I drove away from Burning Man. Many, many thanks for this beautiful and fitting piece.
BURNING MAN:
This was my fourth time at Burning Man and it gets no easier to describe each time. It is a weeklong temporary city of about 60,000+ participants (in 2013) who are all self-reliant and well-equipped to camp out in this most harsh, hot, dusty, dry lakebed but also interconnected and interdependent in a way that is really unique, tangible, but impossible to define. Foremost, it is unmistakably a huge party. There is a very large element of art of every medium and concept, plenty of music, and people generally doing the creative thing that they love to do, freely and for the enjoyment of the city, from cooking bacon to hula hooping to building amazing art cars to flying UAVs. Nothing is for sale but ice and coffee. Aside from that, Black Rock City is like capitalism in reverse. Rather than exploiting each other or looking for ways to optimize income and consumption, most BRC citizens go out of their way to give to you, to help you, to provide for your existence and your feelings in a true and meaningful way.
FPV (First Person View) and UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles):
FPV is a method of operating a radio-controlled aircraft (fixed wing or helicopter) by using a camera mounted on the aircraft which transmits a live video stream back to the pilot via a small video transmitter. The video is received a the "ground station" and viewed through video goggles or an LCD monitor. This gives the sensation of being in the cockpit when flying the craft. My aircraft were a 48" wingspan foamboard creation of my own design I call the "Synapse" with a 20 minute duration, a four-rotor "quadcopter" with 9 minute duration, and a six-rotor "Y6 copter" with a 6 minute duration. Each uses a GoPro to record 1080p hi-definition video. The Y6 has an additional camera which serves as the FPV camera, whereas the other two use the GoPro for this purpose. All use lithium polymer batteries (LiPo) for power and I used 100% solar power to charge them at Black Rock City. I use the DragonLink 433MHz UHF long-range control system which about 5 miles of safe, reliable control. I never flew more than 1 mile away at BRC. The multicopters are equipped with the APM Autopilot which stabilizes flight and will return them autonomously to their launch point in case of lost video or radio control. In compliance with requirements this year my craft were registered with Media Mecca and I wore a Media pass each flight. I flew only during daylight over open playa and never at night or over crowds. Some other operators unfortunately chose to fly at night over crowds, much to my dismay. We pilots prefer the term "UAV" though many people call them "drones".
TECHNICAL:
DragonLink UHF for long-range control
GoPro Hero 2 at 1080p, medium field-of-view
LiPo battery power of 2200mAh or 4500mAh, charged by solar power onsite
1258MHz FPV video link
5.8GHz ground station repeater to FatShark video goggles
flight times are reduced at Burning Man due to high density altitude of about 7000' by 10am
