I Robot at Burn2 - Opening Today!


BURN2:  I, Robot

Opening 10:00am SLT, Saturday, 19 October 2018 

Ending Midnight SLT, Sunday, 28 October 2018 




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.
