The inquiry

How might a physical object open a durable path into inquiry?

Story

A long-lived series of square NFC cards that link questions, places, people, and activities to the living digital Orchard. The work is presented here as part of a living system rather than as an isolated product: its meaning comes from the people, practices, and neighboring works that make it useful.

The card format, bamboo material, NTAG213 basis, seven-year cadence, and 1,008-card ambition were established, alongside early identity and interaction concepts.

Finalize the card data model, produce a small numbered pilot deck, test write/read workflows across phones and Atlas devices, and publish authoring guidance.
