Research Notes on No Place

I encountered No Place as I was putting myself through Utopia Conjuring Therapy, a pseudo-psychoanalytic, part-anthropological, new age ritual I developed to try and conjure utopia into being. Before encountering No Place I was only able to unleash portions of my own psyche, this is my first encounter with what I believe to be an “other” people and place. The following are my research notes and drawings from an attempt to learn more about this place.

Who I found in the woods

I collected plant specimens today and found the skeletal remains of a body. I believe she is a No Placean. I will have to do tests to determine the accuracy of my initial hypothesis.

Institute for the Analysis of Empathy

Excuse my absence, I have been in the woods establishing the Institute for the Analysis of Empathy. This will be the primary research site where I can develop my connection with the people of No Place.
