This idea of ephemerality ties into a key theme of this great gathering in the desert: ego death, culminating in the act of burning The Man, a massive human-shaped sculpture that is created in a new form and burned every year. As I interpret it, the death of the ego creates space for new possibilities, new forms of creation and innovation that are dramatically enhanced when one consents to collaborate with others in the act of creating.
These art pieces are the work of collective efforts; a bringing together of different visions, different skills and abilities. The idea is that when individuals set aside the ego, the group is able to create incredible things. Those involved must rely on each other while they simultaneously contribute to the whole.
Perhaps as our global community becomes “smaller” and we are ever-more connected with diverse regions of the world, we are being encouraged to learn to collaborate, and to contribute and not control. This can be a catalyst for new ways of defining both community and culture, for shifting the focus away from domination or isolation toward something more like collaborative art. A shift to doing things that seems in some ways pretty unAmerican: embracing the ephemeral, seeking a collaborative solution, as well as recognizing the value of things that may have no real functional or economic use at all, such as non-commodified artworks.
