Evolution at Burning Man

burning_man_09_theme.jpgI wish I could visit Nevada this fall. The Burning Man idea has always fascinated me, and this year's theme is evolution. From the Burning Man website:

Nature never made a plan, nor does it seem to copy very well.  No living thing is ever quite the same as others of its kind.  Charles Darwin called this Natural Variation.  There is a kind of subtle chaos, a supple element of chance and change, residing at the core of living things.  We've learned that DNA, the code that programs life, is subject to continual mutation.  This enables generations to evolve within a changing world.  This year's art theme contemplates the power and the meaning of the process we call evolution.


Thanks to Sheril Kirshenbaum for pointing this out.
