 Monster Code explores techniques for encoding environmental knowledge directly into the environment itself. Imagination (monsters) and geographic memory are key pillars this builds on. Basically associating knowledge to features and hooks in the landscape, by the power of imagination and story. That power is considerable, as evidenced by the practices of oral cultures around the world, showing knowledge remaining intact over thousands of years and spanning thousands of km. People who have started practicing it report their world is filled with new layers of liveliness: you are not just walking to the bakery or office, you are walking through the history of early humans, all indigenous dragonfly species (or whatever you happen to have encoded locally). But we will start at the beginning. Monster Code explores techniques for encoding environmental knowledge directly into the environment itself.

 This first phase of the research is about rapid prototyping, taking subjects and encoding them in different ways into the environment. This first phase of the research is about rapid prototyping, taking subjects and encoding them in different ways into the environment.
