“Frida” is my self-portrait. Frida Friday is one beautiful memory of Burning Man and I love her and her art.
The robot idea came about randomly as I was thinking about my Burning Man experience and Burning Man as a myth.
The robot is a toy, it represents the other side of Burning man. It’s the superficial, naïve and hypocritical side of it.
It’s make believe. For a week I’m going to play as if I'm crazy, I am going to hug everybody and care about nature by picking up rubbish that sits on the desert. That should be enough to show that I care about the planet.
I certainly have been the robot myself.
Burning Man didn’t radically change my life, but it planted a positive, inspiring seed in my head.
