Ukuhlelwa komunye wemicimbi emikhulu kunazo zonke e-Black Rock Desert, e-Nevada.
Ngenkathi i-carbon ecacile ye-Black Rock City kungenzeka ingabi yilokho i-purest ezoyibiza ngokuthi iluhlaza, uzobe ucindezelwe kanzima ukuthola umcimbi lapho abahlanganyeli bebona ukusimama kweqiniso kanye nesisekelo salokho okushiwo ukuhlala kuloluhlelo lwesistimu oluvaliwe loop olubizwa ngokuthi iplanethi emhlabeni.
Ukwakha isithombe esikhulu ukuze uphonse, upiyottouchet ovuthayo # 1, upiyano ovuthayo oshayayo # 2, i-piano ebulalayo i-trebuchet # 3, amaloli e-propane adubula umlilo nama-generator ashisa amafutha angenalutho ukuze asebenzise izindonga zezikhulumi.
Yize lokhu konke kumnandi kakhulu, kuvele kumemeza isikhala somoya. Kodwa uma ubheka ukubheka kwangempela ukuthi kwenzekani uzothola umcimbi osimeme kakhulu futhi omuhle emhlabeni engike ngahlangana nawo.
Kwenzeka kanjani lokhu?
Impendulo ilula. Izinhlelo.
Umuntu ovuthayo ufundisa ukuthi uqonde ukuthi konke, into eyodwa oyithintayo, ukubona noma ukuxhumana nayo, othile okumele alethe lapho, uzobuya, athathe, ahlanze noma ahambe. Ku-Burning Man, akukho amabheji noma udoti. Awukwazi ukuphonsa okuthile ngoba ngoba empeleni akunjalo. Uma ufuna ukuletha isibani nawe, mkhulu. Kodwa okokuqala udinga ukuzibuza imibuzo embalwa. Uzoyixhuma ini? Ngaphandle kokuthi ulethe i-generator, awunazo izitolo. Yebo, ungasebenzisa ama-panels, kodwa kuthiwani uma ufuna amandla ebusuku? Kumele ulethe ibhethri ejulile yamabhethri, bese udinga ukuqonda indlela yokusetha uhlelo lwegridi olwenza amabhethri phakathi kwamahora okukhanya kwelanga ukuze ukwazi ukukhanyisa isibani sakho ebusuku.
Kuthiwani uma ushiya isibani lapho uphuma ukudansa? Futhi uma ubuya futhi kungekho amandla, ungenzani? Akukho lutho. Ayikho inkampani yamandla; wena uyinkampani yamandla.
Uzokwenza, mhlawumbe okokuqala, uqonde ukuthi uma ushiya izibani kuwe uzilimaza kuphela. Uzoqala ukubona ukuthi kunesimangaliso kangakanani ukuthi unamandla uma ufaka inkinobho ekhaya.
Uzoqala ukuqonda ukuthi leso shintshi esincane esincane esivumelanisiwe sixhunywe kwisistimu yegridi, eyakhelwe umuntu, okwenza amandla kubantu abayizigidi. Woah. Uma uqaphela ukuthi kuthatha ukuthatha umuzi ngothuli ezinsukwini ezimbalwa nje, ungaqala ukuqaphela ukuthi amadolobha namadolobha esihlala kuwo ukusebenza ngendlela efanayo. Basebenzisa izinsizakalo ezifanayo, futhi kuphela kuwe ukuthi unqume ukuthi ungadla kanjani lezi zinsiza ngokuziphethe.
Futhi yilokho nje izibani! Kuthiwani ngamanzi? Ungathanda ukuwageza? Kulula ngokwanele ngesidingo. Yilokho uze ucabange ngalokho okwenzeka emanzini uma usuqedile nayo. Lokho kuyinto entsha entsha yezibungu. Kwenzekani emanzini ngemuva kokuya phansi? Ingabe iphela? Kodwa akekho. Kumele uqoqe amanzi akho okugeza ahlanzekile, bese uthola ukuthi ungaba kanjani u-A) ukuwuphulukisa, noma u-B) ukubuyisele nawe endaweni ethile ngemuva kokuthi uBurning Man alahle kahle. Lokhu akuzwakala njenge-dessert evelele! Kodwa lokhu konke okuyingxenye yalokho okuhlangenwe nakho. Uma ulethe okuthile, noma yini, kufanele ukhiphe nawe. Yingakho ama-70,000 "abashisayo" abuthana ndawonye ukwakha i-Black Rock City njalo eminyakeni engu-30 edlule baphathe le planethi kangcono uma beshiya Umlilo Wokushisa.
Okuhlangenwe nakho okufana nalokhu kuvulwa amehlo akho, kukuphoqa ukuba ukhumbule, kukufakaza kuqala ukunikeza imiphumela nemiphumela yesinqumo ngasinye osenzayo.
Uhlelo lwezemfundo e-United States alukho uhlobo lwekharikhulamu kuma-lock loop oluvaliwe nezinhlelo zokucabanga ngokujwayelekile. Okuhlangenwe nakho okufana neBurning Man lapho kufanele ulethe futhi ushiye yonke into oyisebenzisayo, lapho uzakhela khona umuzi ngokwakha, yenza okungaphezulu kakhulu kunenkambi ukusiza abahlanganyeli ukuba baqonde ukuthi kuthatha ukuthatha lezi zindawo zokuhlala esizibiza ngokuthi amadolobha namadolobha. Uma usuqonda ukuthi yini edingekayo ukuze amanzi avele kumbhobho noma phansi, ukukhanyisa ukukhanya lapho uvula isishintshi, ukushisa ukushisa okuvela emoyeni, ukwenza izimoto ukuhamba noma izipiksi thump, uqala ukuqonda mayelana nezinsiza zethu zokugcina.
Kuthatha umsebenzi omningi ukwenza lezi zenzakalo zenzeka nsuku zonke zibonakala zilula. Uma usufanele ukwenze konke wena ngokwakho, ngaphandle kokwesekwa kwanoma iyiphi ingqalasizinda, ungakwazi ukuqonda futhi uqonde ngempela lokho abantu abakwenzile nalokho umhlaba wethu owenzela khona.
I-Burning Man iphinde ibe yilabhu yokubhubhisa yamandla avuselelekayo, izindlu ezihlukile, ukuhlelwa kwedolobha emisha kanye nokusiza izinhlekelele. Iphrojekthi engiyintandokazi kwakuwukulethwa kweqembu lokuhlola i-drone yezinsiza zokusiza izinhlekelele nokunyathelisa kwe-3D ngesikhathi esifanayo. Bengathatha isithombe sobuso bakho bese bekunika umthamo we-RFID. Ngamahora ambalwa, ithegi ye-RFID idlidliza futhi uma ubheka phezulu i-drone ingayilahla isithombe sesithombe sakho esincane esinyatheliswe nge-3D. Kuzwakala kungenangqondo, kodwa lokhu kwazisiza ukuba zifakaze ubuchwepheshe obusiza abantu manje ukuthola ukudla nemithi yokwelashwa kanzima ukufinyelela ezindaweni ngezimo ezibucayi. I-Burning Man Project, i-501c3 engeyona inzuzo eyabamba umcimbi esiwaziyo wonke njenge-Black Rock City, akuyona inkampani yokukhiqiza umcimbi, kodwa kunenkambiso yamasiko namagugu asekelwe. Konke kuklanyelwe ukuqhubekisela phambili umthelela wezimiso eziyi-10 (ukuqonda ngempela ukuthi uBurning Man ubanikeze bafunde). Ngaphezu kwalokho banesibopho esikhulu sokunciphisa ikhanda labo, baye bafaka enye engenzi inzuzo ebizwa ngokuthi i-Black Rock Solar, futhi bayishiya ngokuphelele inhlangano ye-trace!
Imizamo yenhlangano ihlanganiswa kuphela ngabangu-70 000 abazoshiya i-Black Rock City futhi benze umthelela omuhle emiphakathini yabo. Ngomunye wabantu abathintekayo kakhulu kwezobuchwepheshe, emisha kanye nezwe elikhona iminyaka engu-20 +, imiphumela ye-ripple yokuthi le 'imfundo' isivele isithinta izigidi emhlabeni jikelele. Ngakho ngenkathi abanye bengase bagxeke umuntu oshisayo, bayaphuthelwa iphuzu. Kubangelwa abantu kanye nezenzo zalabo bantu abenza ngempela ushintsho oluqhubekayo. Nakuba ukuqhuma okuncane kwe-C02 akuyona into enhle kakhulu emhlabeni, kumongo wesithombe esikhulu, umthelela wesikhathi eside uzokwenza umthelela omuhle ozobe ukhulu kakhulu kakhulu ku-generator encane nemililo emincane. Ngeshwa, asisenawo amathuluzi okukala umthelela omuhle.
Ngezinye izikhathi, kuthatha isithembiso seqembu elihle kakhulu emhlabeni ukukhohlisa abantu ukuba bafunde mayelana nokusetshenziswa kwemithombo, ukulahlwa kwamanzi nezinhlelo ezizinzile. Kodwa-ke, ngiya emaphethelweni kunezinye izindlela futhi ngezinye izikhathi une-dance dance ubuso bakho futhi mhlawumbe uphonsela into emva kokuthi usanda kuqeda ukwakha idolobha ukuze ufike lapho.
Ukuqiniswa kweqiniso kuhamba okuningi, kujulile kunamathani ambalwa khabhoni. Kuxhomeke isikhathi esithile lapho ubheka khona umhlaba. Ngikhona kulolu daba olude, ngakho-ke woza uthole kimi eMnyama Rock City ngonyaka ozayo. Ngizoba ngothuli.
