> art project and sound camps can have budgets that are upwards to a million dollars. Ya, no joke. The ugly truth of Burning Man is that it needs rich people but it does not want its culture Super flashy art installations and professional quality music acts aren't integral to the burning man core ethos, while radical self-sufficiency is. One might even contend that large-budget things condition people to act as consumers of culture, which is certainly anti-burning-man.
