THE ART OF BURNING MAN
LEONARDO Volume 36, Number 5

The international journal LEONARDO, a publication dedicated to art and
technology and published by the MIT Press, has collaborated with The Burning
Man Project to publish a special section featuring The Art of Burning Man.
In the October 2003 issue, 20 artists discuss the creative aspects of
designing and building art for Burning Man. Among the many art mediums
discussed are fire, water, lasers, LED light, metal, telestereo optics and
fractal audio. Each essay is illustrated with a photo of the artwork.
