Burning Man Art Build 08

http://current.com/items/89236628_burning-...

Every year thousands of people descend onto Black Rock to build a city in the desert from scratch. And for many of the artists and engineers, the period of set-up before the gates actually open has become the most important part of this yearly event. We talk to the founder of Burning Man, Larry Harvey, as well as the masterminds behind the art installations Temple, Elevation, Babylon, Mutopia, and of course, the team behind the building of The Man, as they share their views and show us the art that embodies this year's theme: The American Dream.

it looks like an inspirational celebration of self expression, ingenuity, not just for the U.S., but welcomes those of any ethnicity...

It's great that everyone is dropping videos, but it would be cool to make it a little easier to find what you used to call "pods" - i.e. Current.tv staff produced vids like this really sweet one.. http://current.com/items/89236628_burning_man_art_build_08
