Burning man 2014 from UBERcut on Vimeo.

Directed, Filmed and Edited by Jorrit Monné from UBERcut

I was invited by Sander van Doorn’s team to join them to Burning Man in the Black Rock Desert, Nevada USA to capture his experience in the best way possible. Although this was his first time (and mine too) attending the event, the video gives a pretty good idea on what the event was like for a DJ (and hopefully other attendees as well). This video was not made for commercial use, only to capture Sander’s precious BM moments (which, according to Sander himself, were life changing) and to be able to share them with his friends & fans.

Please Send me a message if your art is in the video, that way I can credit everyone who made these great creations!

How do you condemn a mob without drawing attention to that same mob? For many of our staff, myself included, GamerGate presented enough of a perceived danger that we were scared for ourselves and our families. (Notable fact I remind myself of often: There are 14 children among the Polygon staff, including two under the age of 1).

If you consider yourself a GamerGate moderate, and are genuinely concerned with ethics in journalism, then I have some perhaps surprising news for you — you’d be hard-pressed to find a more interested party than the games press itself.

“Twitter has been shamefully slow in addressing this problem. It didn’t add a report-abuse button until August 2013, after British activist Caroline Criado-Perez was hit with a torrent of violent threats because she campaigned to get Jane Austen’s portrait on the £10 note.”

“The subtext of some of these objections, that the gaming industry does not need to change, troubles me much more. Historically, the majority culture in America telling a minority culture “can’t you just pipe down and let us keep things the way they are?” has led to some darker chapters in our country’s history.”
