As noted elsewhere, there's been some package tourist use of the hexayurt in previous years - paid builds of large scale installations without much community participation in the process. I do not mind AT ALL (indeed, I actively encourage) commercial production and sale of hexayurts for the Playa and other uses, but I think the "paid labor on the playa" stuff violates the letter and the spirit of Burning Man pretty badly, and needs to be swiftly discouraged. So if this Art Viking thing happens, do feel encouraged by me to support it and participate. It's what I would do if I was there ;) Enjoy, Vinay -- Vinay Gupta Free Science and Engineering in the Global Public Interest http://hexayurt.com - free/open next generation human sheltering http://hexayurt.com/plan - the whole systems, big picture vision "In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer" - Albert Camus Twitter/Skype/Gizmo/Gtalk/AIM: hexayurt UK Cell : +44 (0) 7500 895568 / USA VOIP (+1) 775-743-1851 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
