How about dialing back on the expense of the man base and burn? I'm just fine with a pile of hay bales and no pyro. The man experience throughout the week should be rethought, it has become just a line to go up with little interaction.
The Temple is hands down the best art project at BM. It can be comprehended and respected by the art world outside the event. (The art world has recently been rediscovering participation-based art) It looks good and creates high quality interaction. But the use of that much virgin birch plywood is unconscionable. I would like to see more thought given to reused materials with the same grandeur. I like a single mass design, multiple buildings and bridges are unnecessary. Each of those suggestions would reduce the expense. A comprehensive video documentation of the notes on the temple before it burns each year would add a lot.
The organizers and participants have made many innovations in the design of the event: the city plan, esplanade, center camp, large sound camp area, temple, art orientation, gift economy, kidsville, lamplighters, rangers. Every aspect of the event should be continuously studied and reconsidered, rather than just coasting and growing in budget
