Michael Mikel on the Five Ages of Burning Man

An avid futurist with an interest in technology and social communities, Michael Mikel joined Burning Man in 1988 and initialized much of Burning Man’s progress over the years. In 1991 he drove the first art car to Burning Man and in 1992 he founded the Black Rock Rangers. In 1995, he developed the logo design which has become the symbol of the Burning Man community. Join Michael Mikel as he discusses the history and origins of Burning Man and the archives at the Nevada Museum of Art.

A special preview of the Burning Man Archives will be on display in the Charles N. Mathewson/IGT Founders’ Room from 5:30 – 6:00 pm for guests attending this event.
