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!
