Life of Burnig Life?

I am really not sure if art is imitating Second Life, or if Second Life is imitating art.


The somewhat surreal counter culture Burning Man gathering that occurs annually in the Black Rock dessert in Nevada has migrated to Second Life as Burning Life. Held annually since 2003, this event is hosted by the Lindens.The picture on the left is of the burning man effigy from 2003.


This event takes place over the Labor Day weekend, and residents have three days to create their projects. On the last day, the culmination of the event occurs when the Burning Man is burned, and then everyone goes home. Apparently many residents plan much of their second lives around the Labor Day weekend and this chance to create for no other purpose than the joy of creating, and sharing it with others.
