Michael Mikel on the five ages of Burning Man, 2017

2017

Burning Man co-founder Michael Mikel, better known as Danger Ranger, walks an audience through the event's history divided into five distinct eras, from its Baker Beach beginnings to the Burning Man Project era. Delivered as a Long Now Foundation salon talk at The Interval in San Francisco, it is one of the fullest first-hand accounts of how the organisation and the city changed under outside pressure and internal growth.
