Burning Man’s K-factor???

 

The Burning Man festival is not Kosmorganica, BUT maybe components of participating works could have high k-factor. For historians and sociologists, Burning Man is considered a folk festival that originated as an annual summer solstice ceremony by a group of San Franciscan New Agers in the 1980’s. It has grown to monumental proportions in the desert as American phenomena that can be explained by the rise of alternatives to the exclusive art world and a need for liminal ritual lacking in secular society.  See History section for more information on the rise of performative spiritual ritual.
