Weird America’s Video of HELCO from Burning Man 1996

So all this talk of John Law and Burning Man history has prompted Chuck Cirino to dig through his massive Burning Man video archives. He just posted an amazing video of the SEEMEN performance of HELCO from Burning Man 1996 that was produced by Kal Spelletich. This was a legendary point on the Burning Man timeline and one of the highlights of John Law’s involvement with the event, taking place the last year he was an organizer, right before all “hell broke loose”.
