Yes, you saw a snake above but Burning Man is not actually a man, it is an annual event in which artists and interested parties travelled to Black Rock Desert and stay there for a week in order to experience "life" in an experimental community. Every participant is free to contribute in any way to the community, and art is one of the main attractions.

At this point, I quote the quote from Anthony Bourdain,
"You're cheapening the thing by talking about it"
So, just enjoy!
