Do you love the idea of Burning Man, but can’t bring yourself to spend a week baking in the Black Rock Desert? Celebrate the spirit of collaborative art with a week-long Burning Life festival in Second Life!
The Burning Life festival grounds – two new regions, Mauve (PG) and Chartreuse (M), located just north of Blue – will come alive on Tuesday, August 26, at 5 pm. Second Life Residents will have the chance to buy a single 40m x 40m meter plot (at a fully refunded cost of L$1,600) on which to build their tribute to Black Rock City.
Participants will have five days, 300 objects, and one voting station to express their interpretation of Burning Life. As this is a collaborative project, participants will limit their use of scripts to insure that the festival grounds offer a level performance that allows visitors to enjoy all of the builds.
On Tuesday, September 2 at 5 pm Burning Life will disappear forever – objects and land ownership will be wiped, leaving participants and visitors with a lingering suspicion that it was all a dream…..
Mauve and Chartreuse will return the next day for normal settlement.
