Well, Burning Life is over for another year and all that remains is the memory.

For those unfamiliar with the concept, Burning Life began back in 2003 as a mirror of the real world Art, Fire and Community festival in California called Burning Man. Each year revellers arrive in their truckloads to claim a part of the blank landscape to create and build on.

To quote from the official Burning Life website ” Art Cars and Mutant Vehicles are rolling extravaganzas of creativity and transportation. Costume is outrageous. Nudity is accepted. Fire and explosions are common. Art is interactive and built by large groups of volunteers. At at the end of the week, the Man is burned amidst a huge party. The last night, the Temple is burned with solumn reverence. Then everyone cleans up and goes back to their Default World, Leaving No Trace on the desert, of the city that was just there.”

So, without further adieu here is a series of videos that show the scope and magnitude of this fiery festival. Remember these creations are made by non-techies and techies alike. Second Life itself is not just created by some nameless gamer but the world the avatars inhabit is conceived of their own imagination. If you join us, you too will become a creator.
