Consider this your official Black Rock City invitation! Art: "Event Horizon" by Ben Bartlett, 2025 (Photo by Ales Prikryl)  Cryptomeria: A Man Pavilion that Connects Earth, Sky, and Cosmos  With delight, introducing Cryptomeria — the Black Rock City 2026 Man Pavilion, which serves as the platform upon which the Man effigy will rise. Designed by artist, inventor, and futurist Alexander (Zander) Rose, the 2026 pavilion draws inspiration from Japan's ancient and still living Jōmon Sugi tree, which has a heart that is open and inviting. In his concept submission, Zander shares these thoughts: The Axis Mundi is the place where worlds meet: root and crown, earth and sky, body and spirit. It is not a monument imposed from above, or a pedestal for a hero, but a living alignment revealed through participation. The Cryptomeria Man Base becomes this meeting point. Its roots invite the city to kneel, gather, and build outward together; its spiraling stairways draw bodies upward and inward, tracing the ancient helix that binds our genetic material, the past to future, and self to collective. Read "A Pavilion that Connects Earth, Sky, and Cosmos" (Rendering by Zander Rose)   Listen to "Mark Day: 10,000 Hours at Burning Man" on the Podcast  Mark Day’s videos serve as a digital gateway for many thousands of Burners, capturing that blurry edge where the default world ends and the playa begins. From his early days building tripper trappers and doing stand up comedy, to his controversial tinkering with AI art, Mark has easily put 10,000 hours into his popular “24 Hours at Burning Man” videos. Andie Grace speaks with Mark about creative process, being a Greeter in Black Rock City, and how acculturation is an everybody thing.
