I think it probably doesn't make sense to go to an art festival with 50k people that is covered by most major news outlets if you're looking for isolation, but I do understand your viewpoint. There is something special about being immersed with the community and artwork, but in my opinion, earth.burningman.com makes that better, not worse. The BM-API is designed to add to the art, not take away from it. It's all about remixing and reusing to create something new and unique. How about that for radical self expression?
