I have been developing this idea.. and when it became public domain after I put it out there.. it took OFF. I am very excited. The ORG suggests that it cannot officially endorse it as it is too complex, but the idea has been refined since then... and would actually be late at night, and earlier in the week. I am hoping to get the word out there, and am starting now!!! any ideas, or help, or suggestions... or trolling and making fun of me, will happily be accepted!
===========
I have had the idea for years, but 07 works just too too well.
In response to the eco theme, I wanted to help create and foster a
moment of respect.. so to speak... to foster the community's
understanding that we are in a different world at burning man, but
need to come back to earth for a moment to show respect and love for
the planet. So if we can reconnect with the planet... at once, and
completely together... we can remember why we are at the burn, and
celebrating life in the first place.
Therefore... to help solidfy the connection of people together, as
well as with the earth... I suggest a massive and total lights out at
about 2:50am after tuesday, wednesday morn, during the full lunar eclipse... for about 5
minutes... so everyone can feel together, and bond and look up at the
clearest, darkest and most beautiful sky we have ever had the chance
to stand under... (and the only one we have had the chance to stand
under). SO.. everyone becomes an equal participant in the most all
encompassing moment at burning man... for us to come back to earth...
reconnect... and look up at the sky.. simply to realize what and who
we are.
Resultingly... everyone becomes a participant, having to work together
to turn off all the lights at the same time. Therefore you have the
largest art installation *EVER*... everyone participating, everyone
coming together at the same moment.... turning art into something that
creates community, bonds people, brings them out of their world (their
tent camp, their sonic stage... all of a sudden every boundary drops
and we are united under a veil of stars), and everyone into each
other's.....
*THIS* world.
Call it art or not, I call it fun and exciting!
