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.

I quite enjoyed the gchqnet treasure hunt. We had to find the “hexpansion” chips that had been scattered around site. #emfcamp

Particular highlight was finding Dan, one of the organisers of this quest. After I chatted to him for a bit he said “now that you’ve met me, here’s a hidden hexpansion” and offers me a secret one from his pocket. Mindblowingly cool - I’ve only ever experienced something like this in a game.

@herdingdata @heinragas Haha excellent! I’ll take credit for supply, but the application was courtesy of some of my fellow villagers…!

I confess I was slightly concerned that they might be inappropriate given the presence of children, but I think they’re not *intrinsically* offensive, and will either fly past them, or not be materially ruder than “lol bums” or other things they might come across day to day

(Wait I just saw the pink one - that wasn’t one of mine!!)
