The Internet brings us together, but what ifthe single link holding us in place breaks? What if what we learn in the harsh environment of the playa could be reapplied for those in crisis, instead of artistic indulgence? The same tools Burning Man Earth builds to disseminate information, map our surroundings, and connect each other are exactly the same tools disaster hit regions could use to pull themselves up in dire times. The act of building new structures and systems on top of old ones has allowed us to survive in the past, and as super-threats endanger our society, and our entireway of life, our new tools will allow us the leverage to pull ourselves up from the ashes and build ourselves anew.
