Burning Man might be the only “cancelled” event that can say with a straight face that the event is still happening. The virtual multiverse is the culmination of so much effort from some many people. The ambition is proportionate with and stands on the shoulders of the real-world event producers, not least of the all the Black Rock City DPW, The Art Dept, Community Services, Technology, the Event Ops Teams, and the people who bring all their creativity to the playa.
