'Mona' is a marketing for their toy product.

Post by bunnykiller » Mon Sep 11, 2023 11:22 am

Hi Burning Man 2023 Community

I tragically found that the lovely 'Mona' art installation in playa is totally a marketing for their toy products.

The sale of art products before the 2023 BurningMan started in June, and then they set the art in Playa suspected for business/commercial or marketing communicated purposes。

this 'RED' link, was posted back on June/16, started branding her "same as burning man 2023 bunny toy".
It was way before her 'Mona' get installed into playa. I believe this marketing is planned back long time ago, and it's intened to against the Burning Man rules.

That's true, I opened the liitle_red_book app links seems they already started to sell the toy before the burning man 2023 open.

The place to start is to send what you posted to https://help.burningman.org/hc/en-us/requests/new and include Artery and commodification in the subject. The staff is very busy with the aftermath and cleanup from the rain, so it may be some time before they can address it. Thanks for noticing this!
