We’ve also invited a number of local Burning Man theme camps to participate as well as mutant vehicle fabricators and artists from NIMBY to highlight their projects headed out to Burning Man this year.</font></span></span></h5>

He was referring to the <i>How Berkeley Can You Be</i> art car parade that had stopped running a few years ago. Our group joined forces and in less than three months, we created Berkeley Spark and filled Civic Center Park with art, music, dance and so much more. We were thrilled at the turnout and the support we received and when we met up this spring, we decided to do it again though we felt it was important to create more of a conversation between art and technology, thus emerged Berkeley Spark 2.0.</font></div>
