I am still surfing the wave of “omg #emfcamp was simply an amazing experience”

A friend’s response after hearing a fraction of what we got up to: “that’s incredible. How can you go back to your day to day life now? Isn’t it really boring in comparison?”

This is an excellent question, if a little terrifying to think about. I don’t have an answer. So I must conclude… the status quo is not enough: we need to make it our mission to make the real world more like EMF.

An installation which nicely sums up one part of what #emfcamp was like: the random midi keyboard left quite literally in a grassy field, vaguely facing null sector (where the party is at). There’s no sign. It just silently SCREAMS “play with me”. Turns out this keyboard controls the lasers which go out across the whole site! Deeply satisfying to play with.

We can make the world a little more like this. We can reward people for being curious.

@herdingdata Glad you liked it, sorry about the lack of sign, I only thought to add the keyboard a day before the event! We did add some lights to help people find it! :)

@yagfox the lack of sign was the best bit! Curious minds were rewarded!

@herdingdata The lasers on the lake were also without sign, as I didn't finish my submission application as I ran out of time, so just did the installation anyway! 🤣
