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.

If there’s any one thing I’m determined to bring more of to the real world, it is SIDE QUESTS. There were so many. Some were puzzles, others were treasure hunts. I still haven’t managed to find adequate words to capture that on saturday I didn’t feel like doing the “main story” and so instead spent a day quite literally walking around a field doing side quests. In real life. #emfcamp

@herdingdata The Potato. Our youngest member (13yo) kept appearing with The Potato, or trying to get us to help him steal The Potato. I still do not understand what was going on

@pikesley I am told that Milliways tried to turn it into mash! I sent the owners of the potato a can of beans through sneakernet because I thought it might be a nice accompaniment 😃
