Burning Man issue of Leonardo now on newstands

The international journal LEONARDO, a publication dedicated to art
and technology and published by the MIT Press, has collaborated with
Burning Man to publish a special section featuring The Art of Burning
Man. In the October 2003 issue of the journal, 20 artists discuss the
creative aspects of designing and building art for Burning Man. Among
the many art media discussed are fire, water, lasers, LED light,
metal, telestereo optics and fractal audio. Each essay is illustrated
with a photo of the artwork.

The Burning Man Special Section includes an introduction by Guest
Editor Louis M. Brill: "Desert Weirdness Introduces a New Era of Art"
