In WAFDust Podcast #8, Yomi Ayeni is joined by Sophia Swire, and Jonathan Clark to talk about their new documentary "Burning Man - Art on Fire".While both are veteran Burners, neither had experienced being part of a desert art project, especially not one as big as Temple of Galaxia. The duo talk the demands of making a film on a bootstrapped budget, tracking down elusive contributors, protecting camera equipment, and winning the trust of fellow Burners, and how these difficulties helped shape one of the best Burning Man documentaries to date.

Stuart talks about Burning Man art, making art, and making art about the art, with Jennifer Raiser, author of the book “Art on Fire,” Sophia Swire, producer of the new film of the same name, and Andrew Johnstone, one of the artists profiled in the film.Burning Man art has become a movement in the mainstream art world and in popular culture, and spawning museum shows, books, and films.

She’s also a Black Rock Ranger and answers to the playa name “Coco Cabana.”  Joining us today from London is Sophia Swire, an entrepreneur, activist, author and film-maker. She’s produced documentaries for BBC Channel 4 and her latest film, Art on Fire, will be premiered online, on Burning Man’s Kindling channel, on August 15th.Andrew Johnstone is an Oakland based artist, painter, muralist, and longtime Burning Man contributor.

While I was at Burning Man a few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to camp alongside the team responsible for launching a monstrously impressive white, light-up, fire-breathing dragon art car, named Elektra. Peter Platzgummer was the project manager for the creation of this desert beast which took 2 years to make and involved over 40 artists, designers and fabricators. Peter has a PhD in Political Economy and now manages large scale art creation for a company called Engineered Artworks out of the Bay Area. | Featured song in this episode is "Storms" by Vancouver based Louise Burns.

In this episode I sit down with Christopher Schardt, creator of the Firmament LED installation and a prominent light artist.  He's spent much of his artistic career making pieces for display at the Burning Man Festival and we ended up spending much of this episode discussing the intricacies of making light-art installations for that venue.  Our discussion moves from the politics of creating art on the Playa, how he fits into the overall Burning Man scene, and where we see Burning Man Art headed in the future. It was an interesting conversation with a true veteran and we had a lot of fun drinking beer and talking about our respective experiences.  Hope you enjoy!   Links & Social Media Website
