Description
In a time and space without a Black Rock City event in Nevada, volunteer crews are using computer code instead of power tools to create a host of digital Burn experiences. What exactly are the “8 Recognized Universes of the Burning Man Multiverse?” What can you do in these online worlds, and will Daft Punk play at the virtual trash fence? Logan and Stuart go looking for answers with the organizers. The through-line for these online offerings is that they will all be celebrating Burning Man culture - from virtual reality worlds to curated Zoom experiences, from web browser adventures to a global streaming burn night. Burning Man Project’s Kye Horton and Gloria Beck help us figure it all out, along with a few of the Universe creators themselves.Read more in the Burning Man journal: Pack Your Virtual Playa Gear and Get Ready to Burn in the MultiverseVisit the Universes via Kindling: https://kindling.burningman.org/multiverse/LIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG

Élida Margarita Bautista, Erin Douglas, and Marlon Williams discuss the current landscape of the Black Lives Matter movement, where we are as a country, and how the principle of Radical Inclusion plays into it all.
