As we do every year, we invited artists and creatives to get their plots to create homes

and art installations in this virtual temporary city on five sims, with a challenge to build to

a science fiction flavoured theme, “I, Robot,” within the framework of the Ten Principles

of Burning Man and a set of build guidelines.

The response from the community has been marvelously varied. Some are built around

the Three Laws of Robotics as set out by Isaac Asimov. Others explore ideas about the

relationship between humans and AI, or express very real fears and doubts about the

future. There are still others that are simply funny and fun to explore. And not the least

among these are the simple camps for those who want to merely sit a spell, relax and

soak in the tunes in the air.

This year, we invite you to experience art that examines how it feels to live in a world

filled with robots. When you step foot onto the dusty playa, you are no longer a mere

bystander but a part of the spectacle that is I, Robot.

Burn2 Coming Soon- Sneak Peek

Coming October 19, is the annual Burn2 event. Burning Man was the spark that gave Philip Rosedale, the founder of Second Life, the idea for its creation. Burn2 (during its first years was known as Burning Life) is Burning Man in Second Life, it is a recognized regional of Burning Man. This year's theme is, "I Robot", as was the theme in Nevada last month.

These are a couple pics of my build, "Resistance Is Fertile". This is a play on The Borg's insistence that "Resistance is Futile". It is representative of the thought of current politics of The Resistance in the U.S., women's insurgence, and a return to our natural and feminine power and place in the world.

Just a peek:) No links yet, the building areas are closed to non-builders. HOWEVER, there are a few plots left, so snap one of them up here , at the main region, open to the public.
