Tune to the frequency of this organic-technical civilization
**Project Name**
Transmissions from the margin
**Main Premise**
Transmissions from the margin is a project that discovers the universe of an organic-technical civilization on the margins of something larger, attempting to communicate with it without knowing if there is a response.
This project does not create a universe, it discovers it. This is an alternative way of world building where instead of streaming everything out of imagination, it is interpreted out of "transmissions".
Transmissions are recorded sessions where symbols are intercepted (pen on Post-it) and decoded afterwards by assigning each symbol a name and an atmosphere.
These symbols act as fragments of this universe that get richer and deeper after each transmission.
**Image Context**
Pictures on this post are some of the symbols resulting from some of these transmissions. There are over 40 transmissions received so far, among them: cities, whales, biomes, needles, modules, embryos... From them we know this universe is:
- Post-industrial and organic at once: factories (pic. 1), modules, emitters, oscillators, but also biomes, embryos (pic. 2), gonads, intestines. As if the machine and the body were the same thing.
- Porous to the sea: whales (pic. 3), docks, stowaways, periscopes, sonars, merchant hulls. Something arrives from below the water, or tries to communicate from there.
- In gestation: embryos, biomes, factories in soft operation, modules (pic. 4) calibrating. Everything seems to be under construction or being born. Nothing is finished.
- Monitored in the borders: barriers (pic. 5), eclipses, inevitable horizons. Something cannot pass. Or not yet.
- Transmitting without a clear receiver: emitters, sonars (pic. 6), remote pulses, contact attempts from below. Someone transmits. It is unknown whether anyone receives.
**Purpose**
The intent of this post is to get this universe and its creative process closer to a potential community. You would help to connect the fragments of lore out of these transmissions as they arrive.
There is an online codex with all the transmissions received and symbols decoded so far for those willing to engage.
Tune to the frequency!
