Burn With Us!
BURN2 is an extension of the Burning Man culture and community into the world of Second Life. It is an official Burning Man Regional, the only virtual world Regional out of more than 100 Regional groups worldwide, and the only Regional to burn the Man! This unique virtual Regional spreads the culture and 10 Principles of Burning Man year-round in the world of Second Life hosting several official and Burner organised events each year, culminating in an annual major festival of community, art and fire in October – a virtual echo of Black Rock City.
As always, we look forward to welcoming home Burners from all over the world. You’ll enter the playa through the Gate, grab some free gifts from friendly Greeters, walk on with the Lamplighters; visit the Rangers, and check out our effigy burns. Wander, explore, climb, interact. Visit Center Camp and the art and sound camps, where DJs and musicians bring music to soothe, inspire, excite and incite to dance. Wander through and explore the art camps. Pause at the Temple to meditate. You will be surrounded by art, music, fire and welcoming Burners! See the (continuously updated) BURN2 Calendar at https://www.burn2.org/event-calendar/ for the event’s schedule.
Waking Dreams, October 7-16th, 2022
https://www.burn2.org/burn2-events/waking-dreams/
As is our tradition, we follow Burning Man’s theme each year. This year’s theme, Waking Dreams, is BURN2’s theme for the annual October burn event.
Every year, artists and creatives are invited to get their plots to create homes and art installations in our virtual temporary city. For 2022, we will have a total of 12 regions of our virtual playa - plenty of space for seasoned and new Burners to build their art, theme camps, and even camp villages. So collect some friends and join together to make your scene on BURN2’s virtual playa in 2022! Yes, you can group build and make a great village, a sound camp, or art installation come alive and share it with friends.
We’ll help Burners bring their 3D builds into Second Life, help campmates decompress on our Playa, and we can help you with some supplies that you can decorate as your own. Take your virtual theme camp to another level by creating events or gatherings in your space and we can post the activity to our website in our version of the Who/What/Where Guide. We have a large Burner community at BURN2 eager to burn with you and we are excited to see what you will bring out to the virtual Playa and share with us! Check out more at www.burn2.org. Welcome Home!
Something new at Burn2…
At Burning Man, when you wander through the area, you’ll see all kinds of camps. Some gift food, others drink, and still others places to chill. Some invite fellow Burners to come in and visit, experience and interact with art and with each other.
You’ll also find there are sound camps of different sizes in various places. Groups of people come together to construct their stages, play their tunes, dance, perform, read poetry, tell stories, and all manner of music to tickle your eardrums. In an effort to further echo Black Rock City we will not have a Main Stage or BOB Stage at our Octoburn event - although Center Camp will still host a small stage as has been the case in the past. This year, we encourage the musically inclined and the prim slingers and mesh makers to come together and create shared stages in clusters of camps, much like the Burners at Burning Man.
B2TV’s roaming camera crew will live stream in various places, showing performances and awesome art all around the playa! If you can't log in, you can stay connected to the event through B2TV's Live Video Webcast to Mixcloud. Every participant puts into practice many of the 10 Principles in being a part of the event, most especially Communal Effort. We’ve had a number of sound camps in the past and we’re happy to see you come back each year! Let’s see some MOAR sound camps!
Plot Sale
Our plot sale has just opened up (yay!) and will be open through Sunday, October 2nd. Burn2’s plot sale is equivalent to buying a ticket to camp at BRC. This helps to defray the cost of renting the extra regions we use in Second Life®. Where to go to get your plot? The plot sale kiosks are in Burn2’s own virtual Gerlach. Check them out here: Burn2 Plot Sale Landing Point.
What can you do to create your own Waking Dreams at Burn2?
First, plan to get your plot! Decide how big a plot and what you want to do on your plot - art, music, join a sound village, or just have a camp. Then get your ticket for your plot! And while you wait for the regions to arrive, plan your build, form your village, get your ideas going so you’ll be ready when you get your placement.
More Opportunities to Participate - Coming Soon
There will be more opportunities to participate in Burn2’s Waking Dreams event. Watch the main Waking Dreams page as more information becomes available.
Gift Your Talents in Tunes and Dance
Burn2 will have one stage for performers: Center Camp, ideal for more relaxed and intimate shows. Visit our website for more information about the event and how you can join the event as a DJ, live mixer, live musician or singer at Center Camp or one of the many independent sound camps. The Center Camp bookings are first come, first served.
Did you know… that camps aka “plots'' can create their own stages and host performers if they wish? YES - you can do your thing inside your sound camp space - and invite others to join you, of course. Want to read, interview someone, have poetry readings? You can do that with a live stream or in local voice chat. You’ll be able to give us some information via the plot owner questionnaire after you get your plot and we’ll assist you with good placement - and we’ll be helping to connect sound camps with performers!
Create an Art Display
Big art sounds intimidating? We are inviting Burners to contribute smaller scale art that will be displayed in the “Deep Playa” areas at Waking Dreams. Put on your art beret, fire up the sketchbook or mesh build apps and add your bit of creativity to this event. Applications will be open soon.
Plot Lottery
The application for the plot lottery (aka Plottery) will be opening soon. These plots will be 512 square meters, with 156 LI max, in various locations around the expanded playa. They are intended for those who cannot afford the cost of a plot but want to have a spot on the playa to call home, create art, have some great fun.The application form will open soon.
And, last but not least…there will be Burns! You can come and watch the burns! The Man will Burn on Saturday, 15th October, then the Temple will burn on Sunday the 16th. Be sure to visit the beautiful Temple and leave a message or two in the Censer. Those messages will be publicly read out before the Temple burns. We hope you find that the virtual Temple is a sacred space that can evoke a similar experience to what you encounter at the Temple on a physically dusty Playa.
Tell Your Friends and Plan to Come!
We look forward to welcoming Home Burners and our community. Walk through the gate, and if you are a virgin Burner, ring the bell! Follow the Lamplighters on their twice-daily processions; visit the Rangers, view the Man and meditate in the Temple. Dress your avatar in your Playa finest. Visit the many performance and art camps with music to soothe, inspire, excite and incite to dance with your avatar. Dance along with your avatar in the comfort of your own home (nobody has to know). You will be surrounded by art, music, fire and welcoming Burners!
