Burning Man is some kind of radical experimental event held each August in the Black Rock Desert in Northern Nevada. A friend of mine has been there a few times and I've looked at some of the footage he's shot. I also know about it from watching an episode of Malcolm in the Middle in which Hal sets up a family barbecue at the event. The hippies think he's doing a brilliant piece of performance art about the mediocrity of the modern suburban male.

Burning Man: Time To Change Your Mind isn't so much a documentary as it is a stream-of-consciousness montage of the event. It gives us some sense of the scale of Burning Man - nearly 50,000 people attended last year - but there are no interviews and no real scenes. What it lacks in narrative it makes up for in pretty pictures. This video is just one mind-boggling thing after another.

The event is many things, and one of those things is a showcase for psychedelic, post-modern art. We see a Barbie doll crucified on a miniature cross, and other dolls engaged in some kind of Matrix Reloaded-style rave/orgy. Mobile cupcakes roam the desert, while men fight in a ring like they're on American Gladiators. The night scenes are the most breathtaking and have to be seen to be believed.

This video will either weird you or make you want to go to this year's event. It's open to the public; all you need is the time and ambition to get there. The great music is by the incomparable Moby.
