Burn2 2011 is burning!!!

Burn2 is here again. It is one of my favorite events inside Second Life for many reasons, one, is an art show where anybody can participate, amateurs and professionals, second, is all about freedom, creativity and sharing and third, there is an amazing crown of people in there!
I took some pictures you can see in the slideshow above or in a set in Flickr. The Burn2 team recorded this video so you can have an idea of what’s going on in there:
They define Burn2 this way:
BURN2 is an extension of the Burning Man festival and community into the world of Second Life. It is an officially sanctioned Burning Man regional event, and the only virtual world event out of more than 100 real world Regional groups, and the only Regional to burn the Man!
The BURN2 organization spreads Burning Culture and the Burning Man Ten Principles (http://burn2.org/ten-principles) year round in Second Life, culminating in an annual festival of community, art and fire in the fall – a virtual echo of Burning Man itself…so BURN2.
The thing to do is go and explore, enjoy and connect. You can find information in the Burn2 website like timeline, the events, shows…etc.
Also in Soup Radio we recorded a show during the Press day of Burn2 that has a lot of references and places you might enjoy visiting. Find more information in the Soup Radio blogpost or listen the show in stream or download it as an iTunes podcast.
I have a tiny build in Burn2, but will write another post about it. 
WaterCycle @ Burn2
This year i wanted to be part of Burn2, maybe because it was not a “Linden Event” for the first time, maybe because i always liked it and wanted to be part of it. Anyway, this year finally did it!
My installation, called WaterCycle (you can see it in the video above) is about water and the use of it by humans creating a “perfect movement” ideal machine that taking water from a pond should transform it in clouds to cause rain to refill the pond.
Burn2 has ended, but you can still visit the installation for the next few days in this SLurl.
Honour McMillan wrote in her blog some really interesting posts about Burn2.
Burn2 is almost here!
Burn2 is almost here and i’m REALLY EXCITED about it!!! Above is the promo video and it shows some of the art camps or events you will find in there from October 16th to 24th.
This is the first time the Burning Man even in Second Life is not Linden Lab supported, they explained it as this:
After six years of Linden Lab support and guidance, both the Lab and Burning Man felt it was time to let the Burning Life event be completely community run and supported. This community of artists, builders, performers, and participants, collectively called “Burners” is a community so diverse, few like it have ever been seen. We ALL are that community! We will take this new beginning for our well-established event, Burning Life, and we will call it BURN2 to signify the freedom and opportunity we now have to recreate it.
Visit their webpage, Burn2.org to find more information about this.
I’m one of the “burners”, i’m working on an installation, or a camp, about water and the environmental problems related to water. It is pretty symbolic, but i hope you enjoy it. I will post more info about my installation is a future post, but now i’ll show a couple of “tease-pics”. 
See you in Burn2!!!
