BURN2 The Burning Man Burns!

2012/11/04 Written by Second Life

Yesterday, November 3rd, the pyro-technitians of Second Life’s BURN2 set The Man ablaze, signalling the close of this years event is near. Naturally, your ever alert, ever on-time reporter arrived 5 minutes late and couldn’t even get near The Man perched up high in the cold desert night. And naturally The Man was already ablaze when I arrived. But [...]

2010/10/22 Written by Production

Please don’t hate me you guys! I’m trying to do the right thing, but it’s hard! And it’s really hard when people you like don’t get along. Yes, the little black girl wearing the Burn2 Greeter hat is me. I guess I have two confessions to make: One is that before I agreed to be [...]

Burn2 Campsite

2010/09/16 Written by Production

You can’t say a bad word about Burning Life ’09, and indeed Silene’s Artist Camp was all about creating on-site, learning new things, and interacting with other artists. Still, I think the bulk of ’09 was an open house of amazing stuff to go look at. Perhaps in this tight-knit 6-region Burn2 we can interact more.

VB Previz #24 – Naked Life

2009/09/13 Written by Previz

This year’s Burning Life theme is Evolution. Evolution is a contextual idea. Yes, we can chart it for millions of years. We can consider the watershed of the cambrian explosion, that eventually finds, among it’s far downstream rivulets, our story. But we are most often most interested in the vicinity of our story: the journey [...]
