Abstract

For ten months of the year the Black Rock Desert of northwestern Nevada is one of the emptiest spaces in the American West. Between August and October, the silence and vastness of the playa is interrupted by what could be described as a wonder of the modern world: the raising, occupation, and disassembling of Black Rock City; quite possibly the largest seasonally inhabited settlement in the Americas.
