Gallery: American Dreamers Run Free at Burning Man
Kat Wade Fri, 29 Aug 2008 01:00:00 -0000
: Photo: Kat Wade/Wired.com BLACK ROCK CITY, Nevada -- Wild rides, fireworks and letting it all hang out. That's the updated American dream at Burning Man 2008. The annual desert gathering always celebrates that most-American ideal: freedom. Freedom to ride a giant red, white and blue tricycle across the playa; freedom to blow your mind however you want; freedom to traipse around wearing nothing but body paint. That kind of ingrained whimsy, rather than politics, seems to be the point of this year's American Dream art theme at Burning Man. "What has America achieved that you admire?" is the event's official statement. "What has it done or failed to do that fills you with dismay? What is laudable? What is ludicrous?" Groovy, man. Let's get it on. Left: Red, white and blue abounds at the festival this year.
