Get creative and crazy at Burning Man in VR

Seas of pale dust. Post-apocalyptic sportswear. Towering sculptures of flame.

It isn’t “Mad Max,” it’s Burning Man, one of the world’s largest, weirdest community gatherings of artists and creative minds.

Enter VRtually There, a weekly video series from the Paste BN network. Using some of the latest state-of-the-art virtual reality technology, they’re giving us a 360 degree first-hand look at how it feels to be at Burning Man – and at the center of creativity.

Every year, the temporary community of up to 70,000 people pops up in inhospitable Black Rock Desert, Nevada. It’s a place for radical self-expression, inclusion, participation and community.

But it’s not just “a bunch of hippies raving in the desert,” says Kate Raudenbush, Burning Man artist and creator of its eye-popping Helios sculptures. “I think it’s the most creative place on earth,” she said.

In a place where creativity is currency, people-watching is at a premium. Check out the full video below, which also includes some fast and furious longboarding footage through California canyons. To get the epic 360 degree experience, download the Paste BN app and search for the video in the “VR” section, or view the video below in your phone’s YouTube app.
