While it's true that a fair amount of actual wiggling takes place at Burning Man, the "space wiggle" images at this site are just a nifty optical illusion:

"This method of presenting stereo images uses animated .gifs to rapidly switch between left and right images. For most of us the brain will impose a crude sense of dimensionality on a wildly wiggling scene."

Link to smaller image size (for dialup folks), Link to larger images (for broadband gluttons). NSFW warning: includes naked (and wiggling) body parts. (Thanks, JP!)
