Vessel

We build and study technologies that people can understand, maintain, adapt, and make their own: without severing them from land, body, ritual, or relation.

Terrain

01

Intelligence

Local agents, decision support, learning systems, and the preservation of human judgment.

02

Networks

Radio, mesh, media, coordination, and the movement of information across communities.

03

Archives

Archives, organizational memory, retrieval, documentation, oral history, and collective learning.

04

Tools

Local-first software, electronics, sensing, resilient stacks, and physical systems that support collective life.

05

Medicine

Herbal practice, biological systems, ecology, environmental observation, community health, and care work.

06

Stewardship

Collective action, institutions, resource allocation, ritual, accountability, and decision-making.

Current Vessels

The projects and experiments we're building, testing, and tending. Each one is a vessel: made with a community, not for a market.

Coming soon →
Experiment06

Ecological Sensing

Hardware and software systems for observing, listening to, and understanding local environments.
