Burning Man's theme this year is evolution which is fitting as Burning Man Earth launches an online directory, API, and a beta iPhone App. The group of artists, geo-wankers, and software developers are rapidly deploying systems, both off and on the Black Rock Desert playa to help participants find each other, schedule events, find theme camps, and artwork. It is a digital project aimed at providing better maps, and an online space to describe the community and art.
And here I thought the preternatural Burning Man Festival was immune to the cold, steel-ish clutches of technology. But I suppose even the mud-dwellers must succumb to the prospect of being able to geo-track their fellow beings along their earthly journey towards a gigantic burning man.
