Pages about a few Burning Man Installations making use of a relatively coolly burning oil, allowing visitors to scoop up fire in their hands without injury, reportedly. Egeria, the most popular of these, was a working fountain of gently burning fire.

Do you remember that giant fire breathing metal dragon you saw in the middle of the Playa, a few years ago? It was (and is) a bus of sorts, which doubled as a chill space, and it has a homepage.

Come see what all of the fuss was about a few years ago. Archived copies of a site that criticized the Burning Man festival on environmental grounds.

Obligatory DisclaimerI do not work for or with the Burning Man LLC, nor am I affiliated with them in any way. This is a blog and associated pages about Burning Man, not one by Burning Man, as one might say.
What I'm here to do
I belong to a number of poi and hooping groups. You will not see me doing that because, having a mild case of cerebral palsy, I lack the physical grace to do that sort of thing. But I do have the physical grace needed to film and photograph that sort of thing, and a durable enough frame that if I hit the ground a few times while lining up a shot, I'll live.
Feeds and Links for My Blog
My Main Blog
My primary interest will be in taking some of the project ideas, and building on them. Do what you know - I have some knowledge of chemistry, which is needed in Solid State work, but I'm not a chemist, so I'll shy away from projects heavily dependent on that subject. I am a Mathematician with a Physics background who branched into Electrical Engineering, so projects involving Electronics are ones in which I'll take great interest. My main hobbies are cooking - which I've pursued since I was a small child - photography and theatre, so you're probably see some references to performance, which might sometimes draw on the theme camp ideas, some two dimensional art done by photographic printing, and some relatively easy recipes which can be done outside, requiring a minimum of clean up. Maybe. No promises.
There are some things, however, that I can guarantee will be missing. No fire - it's not safe in my area, and the city government of Chicago seems to take the subject of fire somewhat personally, anyway, for some reason. No high priced project ideas - none of that business of buying $2000 worth of lumber to build something that will be incinerated at the end of the week. No meat - the recipes will be vegetarian ones. Nothing appealing to "prurient interests". No announcements of upcoming events - even if I end up holding those, I will only announce them offline, but in fact, probably won't announce them, at all.
The kind of event I'd like to see is a gathering of some friends who invite their friends, who can do the same, everybody bringing something on which they've enjoyed working; one that never gets too big. If it grows to more than a few hundred people, one splits it in two, with each half going its own way, so it never grows so large that it needs to be anything more than an informal gathering. One would run out of room at any location we're likely to reach otherwise, anyway; there are no great wildernesses for hundred of miles as one goes away from Chicago, just small forests and parks. How much promotion does a small private party need?
For now, but not indefinitely I hope, much of this will have to stay on the theoretical level, proposals, not prototypes, because my budget is very limited, and I have no place to display work, anyway. If you see an idea you like, and would like to embellish on it further, please feel free, as long as you show me the same courtesy I show to those from whom I borrow, giving me credit for that I did and linking back to the page on which it was done. The point of this isn't to get somebody else's ideas or my ideas to go viral, but to learn from some creative work that was done in the past, and get back to the idea of culture being something that ought to be a cumulative thing, even in an ephermal city.

My Tribe of One.
What am I going to write about? To give a firm answer to that question, before I've written more than a few lines would be premature, but I can say what a lot of this will be about. Burning Man has, as a community, sometimes defined itself in a surprisingly self-deprecating manner, as a place where a thousand grand ideas are executed poorly. Why poorly? In part, I think because of an unspoken belief that one's work should be wholly and absolutely original, leaving the creator without any need to acknowledge any creative debt to those who went before him. Modernism would seem to have survived, in significant part, in a supposedly postmodern environment. One thing that I will do, mostly on paper and pencil (or, on the keyboard, to be more exact), is try to build on what others have done, offering ideas of how those ideas might be further pursued. My funds are limited and those I know are, oh, the way they are, so work on the sketchpad may be the best I can offer for a while. "The way they are, Joseph?" We're talking Midwestern cultural conservatism at its utter worst, but let's not dwell on that. I'll just play with the art, a little, and see what I can come up with. Or not, in many cases; I won't pretend to be an accomplished artist. Just an interested one. .

My LivejournalWho are your favorite television or movie villains? What makes them so deliciously evil? Repetitor. You probably haven't seen him onscreen, because he only shows up in a few low circulation amateur films, but he is fiendish. What he does is go into an online community, and ask the same question over and over and over, until people are driven insane, and left banging their heads into the wall out of sheer frustration again and again, until they die of brain hemorrhages. There had been an attempt to get these masterpieces into wider circulation, but on screening, the directors discovered that the audience members were, themselves, reduced to self-destruction almost as quickly as the characters had been, and so liability issues kept the series out of the major theaters. I guess life really does imitate art. What tune do you regularly find yourself humming or singing in the shower? 4'3" by John Cage. I never sing in the shower, and have never seen the appeal. Why stretch out one's time there, in the bathroom of all places, when the day awaits? Aside from the obvious circumstances which might arise, that is, but if that's what is going on, to offer such a serenade would be the height of narcissism, would it not? Not a good way to make a positive impression on one's girlfriend, I would think. This is a side blog to my main blog about Art at Burning Man. I'll talk about discussions I've found myself in on Livejournal about related subjects, answer a few questions of the day, and upload some truly abominable photography and art. You've been warned. originally published at En Transit / Joseph Dunphy
En Transit / Wordpress Commentary
This is a comment blog. I am writing a blog about art at Burning Man and ideas I’ve gotten from it, elsewhere. As I write that blog, I’ll get into conversations, some of which will take place on WordPress.com, and read some of what other bloggers have to say, some of them posting from WordPress [...]

En Transit / Blogger NotesI'll be writing a blog about the art at Burning Man and some of the ideas it has given me. This is not that blog, exactly. It is a comment blog on which I'll be talking about some of the discussions I've gotten into on Blogger, while writing that blog. Yes, sort of like a page of footnotes for my main blog, a page that will keep growing for a while.  originally published at En Transit / Blogger Notes

How to follow a link on Disqus
Yes, the feed is broken. Yes, Disqus has been told about this. No, they aren't going to do anything about it. Why would they? This is the 21st century, and self esteem matters more than job performance, does it not? At least, until the job is outsourced, and maybe even then, too?

Sorry if you're seeing this, twice, but Disqus would appear to have lost the first copy of my remark.

Going to the Kickstarter page for the project, I find that it will be funded, having met its pledge goal on August 12. It looks like it will be pretty, but still, I would have liked to know more about how it will work. What is the algorithm for converting sound to light, that sort of thing. Did the artist write anything about that, elsewhere? originally published at Disqus - Latest Comments for burningman

My Comments on IntenseDebate
"When God talks, you listen." No, when G-d talks, you go in for a CAT scan. Hearing voices would not be a good sign. But when you find G-d speaking with your own voice, that's the time for real concern.

If you don't see the code for your ring below, this is either because Webring has merged some more rings, or because you entered my pages somewhere other than on En Transit. Either way, going to the ring return page (which includes a link to the webring entry page for En Transit) should help, though, in the first case, all you need to do (if you're seeing this on Blogger) is scroll down and find the ssnb at the bottom of the page.
