From the article: "However, within BRC mores, it would not be entirely out of place (though a minority view I suspect) to suggest that burning someone's art may be considered a form of interacting with it."
I suggest the author ask some actual artists how they feel about that. It gets much less abstract when it's your art, your energy, your time, blood, sweat and tears. How about if someone steals the art? Shall we call that interaction as well? What if it's not someone trying to make a point about the useless notion of ownership who burns art but rather some drunk chick who just thinks it'd be funny?
The fact is that burning man is no longer what it was in the 1990's. It's nice to be reminded of what it used to be...but honestly, if you feel that strongly, go start your own event. Burning Man is just one small thing. There are many deserts. There are many other weeks in the year. Go forth and multiply...
