Burning Man Art Build 08
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.
Produced by Justin Gunn and Mark Rinehart 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 eng... more -

A Premature Burning
The Man is on fire! Most Burners were enjoying the lunar eclipse when people started to notice smoke and flames coming from the infamous Man, positioned in the middle of the Black Rock City. Officials were on site immediately to combat the flames while onlookers cheered "Save the Man". Eventually the fire was put out and the Man was safe once again albeit very badly charred. These first hand accounts shed some light on the fire but more importantly help to describe the indomitable spirit that lies within the people of Burning Man. The Man is on fire!
