Thousands of people travel to the Nevada's desert to settle in camps and establish a temporary city (Black Rock) for one week. They are equipped with mandatory survival guides and urged to dedicate to the community and comply with 10 mandatory principles.

The principles are: radical inclusion, gifting, decommodification, radical self-reliance, radical self-expression, communal effort, civic responsability, leaving no trace, participation and immediacy.

Attendants often wear eccentric costumes or walk around naked, showcase their art such as installations, dance, aerial dance or music. This year a woman was keeping herself fresh with a fish bowl as a helmet. A man dubbed "Cyberfy" was wearing a disco sphere on his head and dancing while other people were seen in samurai suites.

This year's theme was "Fertility 2.0" in which organizers explained, were celebrating the capability of living beings to create life.

"Black Rock City is a kind of Petri dish. Theme camps cling in fertile clusters to its latticework of streets, artworks tumble out of it, like pollen on the air. These nodes of interaction mutate, grow and reproduce their kind, only to effloresce and spread across five continents. This year's art theme contemplates the tendency of any being or living system to create abundant life," organizers said on the festival's website.

The festival ends with the burning of a Man made of wood that is in average 40 feet tall on September 2. It has a 25-year history.
