About
The Man has had a Brain each year since 2018. It is made during the Man build using wood scraps from its ribs. It is designed to be placed in the Man's head, though instead, it travels the playa on a bike trailer to fill up with thoughts written on paper by participants. The Philosophical Center Potluck Noodle House and Lemonade Stand gazebo, on the playa, is its Home Base. The Brain burns with the Man each year. The big idea behind this project is to create an opportunity to make the Man touchable and Participatory. It is encouraged to share your thought with others around to give the moment an extra dose of psycho-magic.
