Art & Innovation

Burning Man culture is a crucible of creativity, where making art meets the art of making, and emergent tech makes new art forms possible.

Creativity: Fueling the Future

Burning Man culture is a wellspring of radical self-expression, and the creativity that results takes as many forms as you can imagine. It injects new life into familiar media like sculpture and performance, and pioneers new forms like mobile art. It blurs the lines between fanciful and representational, artifact and experience, observer and subject. And it’s not limited to what we traditionally think of as the arts, but extends to other creative endeavors such as engineering, urban planning, and philosophy.
