Summary

Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com Guest speaker: Android Joines PROGRAM NOTES: This Palenque Norte Lecture was recorded at Burning Man in August 2019. "Burning Man is like a handicap Olympics for art. Everybody gets a medal. There's no bar at all. The bar went away. Anything fits in. And we realize the handicap that all of us have in common is that we have the handicap of our trauma. Because it's our trauma, I believe, that is one of the unifying factors that brings us out here. Healthy people don't go out to the middle of the desert, to go do drugs, and get naked with other healthy people." --Android Jones Android Jones Website Samskara An experience by Android Jones [ DMT Simulation ] Dr. Bruce Damer performing "Fire In The Sky" with DJ DISSOLV on music & Android Jones live painting on two LED screens on the Lucent Temple of Consciousness stage at Lightning in a Bottle, May 28, 2016 Shpongle - Android Jones Visuals Shpongledroid Tour in New Orleans on 11-23-19 at Joy Theater Download MP3 PCs – Right click, select option Macs – Ctrl-Click, select option Download free copies of Lorenzo's latest books

This is Lorenzo and I'm your host here in the Psychedelic Salon.

And I'm really pleased today to be able to play another one of the Palenque Norte lectures

0:29.6

that were given at the 2019 Burning Man Festival.

0:33.6

And today's featured guest is none other than the world famous digital artist, Android Jones.

0:40.3

Due to some technical problems a year ago, I wasn't able to podcast his talk from 2018,

0:47.3

but the 2019 talk has come through fine even after going through a tornado,

0:53.3

and we're going to listen to it today.

0:56.4

As you'll hear in just a moment, this past burn was the 17th consecutive year

1:02.1

in which Android Jones attended the Burning Man Festival.

1:05.9

Well, if I've done my math correctly, his first burn must have been in 2002, and that was also the year that my wife and I attended our first Burning Man Festival.

1:16.7

Of course, I've only made it a few times since, and so I have a great deal of respect for anyone who has, well, has what it takes to travel to the playa each year for 17 years in a row.

1:33.3

Wow, only if you've done it yourself, at least one time, can you really appreciate the commitment that people like Android Jones and his family have to, well, the commitment to the entire Burning Man experience.

1:40.3

Now, if you've already seen some of his work, well, at least if you're like me, you'll

essentially be at a loss for words when you try to describe the depth of his creations.
