Fortuna's Wheel Of Mischief This is a Burning Man costume design I'd been thinking about for a year. Might take as long to make out of natural (non-melting) fabrics. (And that long to build some pecks.) My first drawing has it mostly nailed, though I think the helmut needs a little more design, and I might try to make streamline some of the design elements to be in the same flavour. The ears will make great unique poi. Everything is in layers for radical temperatures and sun protection. (Long cape not shown.) There are rings and pockets (mostly zipped) everywhere, including the pads to stash whatever, tie or clip whatever, and a back pack can still be worn. Haven't thought much about the feet.

Bay Area artist Larnie Fox sums up the Burning Man art-making experience (scooped from BurningMan.com):

There is a yet unnamed art movement that may prove to be of some significance, and Burning Man is close to its center. It often manifests itself as circus, ritual, and spectacle. It is a movement away from a dialogue between an individual artist and a sophisticated audience, and towards collaboration amongst a big, wild, free and diverse community. It is a movement away from galleries, schools and other institutions and towards an art produced in and for casual groups of participants, more akin to clans and tribes, based on aesthetic affinities and bonds of friendship. It is a movement away from static gallery art and formal theater and towards site-specific, time-specific installation and performance. It is a rejection of spoon-fed corporate culture and an affirmation of the homemade, the idiosyncratic, the personal. It is profoundly democratic. It is radically inclusive, it is a difficult challenge, and it is beckoning.


"The Dancing Wu Li Masters" by Gary Zukav quoted John Wheeler:

May the Universe in some strange sense be "brought into being" by the participation of those who participate? ... The vital act is the act of participation. "Participator" is the incontrovertible new concept given by quantum mechanics. It strikes down the term "observer" of classical thoery, the man who stands safely behind the thick glass wall and watches what goes on without taking part. It can't be done, quantum mechanics says.
