After a storm destroyed Ukrainian artist Oleksiy Say’s installation Black Cloud at the Burning Man festival, the Ukrainian team decided to create a new art object from the remains. It is a large inscription reading No Fate. This is an abbreviation of “No fate but what we make”. Producer Vitaliy Deyneha reported this on his Facebook page.

“In fact, when we were thinking about this year’s work, the image of Sarah Connor shouting this phrase to the world to warn of the danger and the need to stop it came to us very often. I am absolutely convinced that if Western countries do not urgently join the arms and military technology race, they will soon find themselves facing serious consequences. And then there is this phrase about humans being the authors of their own destiny. We can always influence it. For example, rebuilding an art object from ruins and playing one of the best sets next to it, with crutches nearby. The question is not how many times you fell, but how many times you got up and what conclusions you drew,” says project producer Vitaliy Deyneha
