At its heart is Black Rock City, a temporary community of some 30,000 outlandishly dressed souls who make camp for six days (Aug. 29-Sept. 5 this year) with the aim of expressing themselves through music, exhibitions and performances. Regulars know to expect the unexpected, from startlingly decorated floats to interactive art installations to spontaneous dance parties. In an oddly beautiful gesture, much of the art created for the event is destroyed during...

It was crowded, relentlessly commercial (a town crier's announcement in one episode ends with an ad for a flour miller) and, above...

If I were one of these workers I would feel humiliated by the condescension of these signs, and their public display would add to the insult. Construction workers may be so unevolved that they earn their living by the sweat of their brow, but they are human beings...
