I went to Burning Man for the
sixth time in 2007, staying with Math Camp (which included the Group W
and Fast Furniture camps).
Claudine Naganuma and Craig Latta shared the 5th wheel with me this time.
I performed (playing drums) at Center Camp with Craig and Tim Walters,
and did two video performances (graphics and camera manipulation) at the
Abstininthe bar accompanying Claudine's dancing. I gave a "Math Makes Music"
talk as part of the Math Camp speaker series.

I went to Burning Man for the
fifth time in 2006, staying with the Group W theme camp.
Three friends shared the 5th wheel with me - Herb Heinz, Mark Briggs, and
Claudine Naganuma.
I performed three times as part of the dud group with Herb, Mark, and
Tim Walters.
The first two occasions were at our camp and at the Lost Penguin Cafe -
I did interactive graphics using a dancing and white-clothed Claudine as canvas.
The third performance was on the main Center Camp stage, where I
played (believe it or not) drums.

I went to Burning Man for the fourth time in 2005.
I didn't do an art installation, and I had just gotten back from a 2-week cross country
vacation, so I only went for a few days - got there thursday and left sunday.
Cathy came along for her second time, and Steve Klinkner came along for his first time.

I went to Burning Man for the third time in 2004. My friend Rick Ehrhart joined me - we both turned 50 this
year, and this was his birthday gift to himself.

|
|
To give out as a gift, Rick and I put together a little CD
containing a few minutes of the audio from Radio Free Quasar.
We used those cute little business-card-sized CDs.
Below are MP3s of the tracks on this CD:

I went to Burning Man for the second time in 2003.
I built a large interactive installation, and
my wife Cathy joined me to share the experience and help build and
maintain the installation.
|
Preparation |
These pictures show the construction of my interactive installation.
|
|
During (in general) |
These pictures of things at the event were taken with a Pentax Optio S.
|
|
During (the Lyre) |
These pictures focus on the Lyre and the people using it.
|
|
|
My installation was called 'Dancing Under the Stars of Lyra'.
Below you can find a 7-minute video of people dancing on the pads in front of
the big Lyre, generating their own music and controlling the
individually-lit strings of the Lyre. Depending on the speed
of your connection and patience, select one of these links to view the video:
