theinvisible

Humanity has reached a point in which the intensity for technological victory or set back is quickening. The end of science and technology is also the end of humanity, think of it as the good apocalypse. We stand on the edge of capability to alter our bodies and minds in such significant ways that we will achieve a homo-nexus and branch from our current evolutionary state into an unknown design. I propose that a city be built to house people and technology in a non competitive or cooperative competitive environment in order to focus on the singularity. Since cities take grand will and massive funding to build the start of this city project will take place in a public location within an existing city. We will build this city with notes, photos, ideas, objects, discussion, and other unknown materials or abstracts. The city will always be open and we should expect it to be constantly destroyed or altered by garbage collectors or vandals due to its public location. People are free to alter the location with ideas and props. Meetup members are encouraged to arrange any kind of meeting they wish or rely on luck and randomness to create social opportunity. The Amsterdam area is an ideal location for stage one due to the history of creative land use in adverse conditions. I call this project the Invisible because the key to advancing the singularity is manipulation of the smallest particles which are invisible to the natural eye.

Found a site!

I found a perfect site behind NEMO near the central library (OBA). The site is on a small brick and concrete pier. The space is fairly quiet and under-visited and as a bonus very near ARCAM. At some point in the next two weeks I will install the chair and some kind of small written notice, or symbol.

The project is now put out to pasture and can be manipulated by the public or group members. Group dynamics are now in play and anyone with purpose or in passage can create or destroy this new city.

I will be adding and taking away from it as often as possible, hopefully we can meet informally as the project moves forward. I will try to announce my visits via tweets or postings on meetup.
