I was in Burn2 2011

Yeah, i was part of Burn2 this year again! Had a tiny space with an installation as you can see in the image above. The name was “Jewel”, the crystals in the ground were sending the “earth powers” to a big diamond hanging in the neck of a huge mannequin. In the installation it was possible to sit on the diamond and be the jewel of the necklace. It was nothing too big, but it was fun to build and set. I would like to thank Menno Ophelia for his help in this installation with the crystals! He is a sweetie!

I had a lot of fun in Burn2 this year. Although it was smaller than ever (only 4 sims) it was nicely organized and had really good art installations and events. Thanks from here to all the Burn2 team, specially the Rangers! Maybe i missed some really cool stages like the ones a couple of years ago, but they were cool too. The important is the “burners” (as they call the participants and the visitors) were in the mood to have a cool event, so we had it.

As you know Burn2, as Second Life edition of Burning Man festival is not Linden Lab supported anymore. That means the organization have to pay for the sims as any other event. That means also that the event has to get money to pay those sim rentals so donations are important. I’m not sure if this new relationship with Linden Lab is better or worse for the event, but i think this situation gives some more freedom to the organization regarding the contents, and that’s good.

Remember you can visit the Burn2 web page for more information about this year’s event or for a donation.
