Burning culture
30 moments in this segment.
- — Burning Man 1986 at Baker Beach. Videos from the first Burning Man gathering on the day of the summer solstice. At Baker Beach in San Francisco.
- — BurningMan1990 Shut Down By the Man. This was the 5th or 6th Burning Man, and possibly the last one attempted at Baker Beach in San Francisco. Law enforcement insisted on seeing a permit for the event, and organizers agreed to postpone the burn. He was lowered down, disassembled and hauled out. The small gathering continued the evening around a smaller bonfire. I think the Man was soon invited by the Cacophony Society to a separate event at Black Rock Desert, NV. I shot this way back then and hadn't bothered to digitize the vintage SD footage until now. Not the most exciting Burning Man event, but maybe you'll see your good looking 1990 selves in here somewhere.
- — The 1st Burning Man. The Burning Man of today evolved originally from an annual art party hosted by Mary Grauberger. Taking place on or around the summer solstice on San Francisco's Baker Beach prior to 1986, the art parties had sculpture burning as a central theme. Then in 1986 Larry Harvey, inspired in part by Mary Grauberger's events, asked his friend Jerry James to help him build an 8' effigy to be burned on Baker beach. This event, unnamed at this point, continued annually until 1990 when, the effigy having grown to 40', the police pulled the plug on the parties climactic burn. Meanwhile, Kevin Evans and John Law, of the Cacophony Society, were planning a similar event called Zone Trip #4 - A Bad Day at Black Rock in Nevada's Black Rock Dessert. Harvey and friends, having nowhere to burn the 40' effigy, joined forces with the Zone Trip #4 group and this was the birth of what we now know as Burning Man. The following clip contains footage of an earlier burn at Baker Beach and also the first burn to take place on the Playa.

- — Jeff Holmes Explains the Burning Man 1996 Netcast Setup. Prior to the start of Burning Man 1996 I took a ride back out to Gerlach with Jeff Holmes who explained the setup for the netcast we were doing that year. We had dual ISDN lines coming into a room in Bruno's Motel that would then transmit internet back to Back Rock City via a series of microwave antennas mounted on radio towers. It was a pretty impressive setup for 1996. https://laughingsquid.com/burning-man-1996-website-netcast-by-istorm/ Jeff also told me the story about a rancher who installed the tower outside of the motel so that he could have cell service 100 miles away. Sadly we lost Jeff in 2008, but I'm glad that I was able to capture a glimpse into his passion for technology. We really miss you Jeff. video by Scott Beale https://scottbeale.org/

- — Burning Man 1998 - Ranger Ride. Monday after the burn, it was still on Sunday night back then, I took some Black Rock Rangers for a ride. It was a good move. It endeared them to me forever and is still talked about it to this day. It was a great ride. We cavorted with Tom Kennedy in the Shark Car, went out to buzz the lineup leaving that day, and more. Doug Wellman (Ranger Coyote, aka Stranger Ranger) shot this video and I edited it a little. There are some legendary Rangers in this group (Tipi Dan, Beavis, Pirate Pete, Ranger Ruth, others) and as you'll hear them say, "Nobody parties like the Rangers". Everybody hold on... if you fall off it's your own damn fault.

- — Surrender - Burning Man 2017. This film by the International Wood Culture Society delves into what Oscar Wilde once said using a cultural approach, "It seems to me that we all look at Nature too much, and live with her too little." This statement is especially relevant in today's context when the world is bracing itself to enter into an more advanced era. Through different perspectives from the founders, artists and burners, we hope to inspire the audience to connect more with nature and have a humble attitude towards the vast spectrum of divine powers and energies.

- — Burning Man :: The 10 Principles. Enjoy this beautiful video about the 10 Principles of Burning Man from Camp Fresh Squeezed! Burning Man co-founder Larry Harvey wrote the 10 Principles in 2004 as guidelines for the newly-formed Regional Network. They were crafted not as a dictate of how people should be and act, but as a reflection of the community’s ethos and culture as it had organically developed since the event’s inception. Radical Inclusion Anyone may be a part of Burning Man. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community. Gifting Burning Man is devoted to acts of gift-giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value. Decommodification In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience. Radical Self-reliance Burning Man encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on their inner resources. Radical Self-expression Radical self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient. Communal Effort Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction. Civic Responsibility We value civil society. Community members who organize events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavor to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must also assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with local, state and federal laws. Leaving No Trace Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them. Participation Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart. Immediacy Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value in our culture. We seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers. No idea can substitute for this experience. https://donate.burningman.org/ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: http://burningman.org/youtube-subscribe Check out our full video archive: http://youtube.com/burningman Visit the Burning Man website: http://burningman.org Read the Burning Man Journal: http://journal.burningman.org Subscribe to the Jackrabbit Speaks newsletter: http://burningman.org/jrs Follow Burning Man Project on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/burningman/ Follow Burning Man Project on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/burningman/
- — 30 years of history of Burning Man!. DUST & ILLUSIONS is available to watch with a donation, so we can pay to get it posted online. Once we have 1,000 subscribers, we'll be able to post it here. Help us spread the word. Thank you community! First 15 minutes from Dust & Illusions, the only movie that looks a the entire history of Burning Man, starting a decade before the event even started. What was the context behind Burning Man. Was it thought out from the beginning as this event that would become world-renowned? Larry Harvey would say he had the idea and from that he was the reason for Burning Man to exist. He created Burning Man after watching Wicker Man. And then people from the San Francisco Suicide Club and the San Francisco Cacophony Society invited the Burning Man sculpture to come to their event on the Black Rock desert. Burning Man isn't what it seems to be. Today it's a massive event, with cool arts whipped by regular giant dust storms in the Black Rock desert. But 30 years ago, it was an underground event put together by renegade artists in the middle of San Francisco. Law enforcement didn't like that, so with the help of the Cacophony Society, they moved it to an unforgiving wind-swept dry lake bed in the Nevada desert. It slowly changed to become the $20+ million event it now is. This film looks at how decadence turned into organized chaos, and how politics might have replaced philosophies. The whole Burning Man story.
