Q888

Identity & Architecture

Q888 builds symbolic systems, narrative architectures, and speculative tools.

Operating at the intersection of contemporary art, AI, and conceptual infrastructure, this practice treats myth, code, and interface as equal materials.

This work refuses instant clarity; it is structured to unfold. Meaning accumulates here through repetition, context, and return.

This is not a portfolio. It is an entry point into a set of living systems.

The Systems

Digital Ink
AI-driven drawing tools for iPad where image-making becomes a negotiation between human intention and machine interpretation. A research environment for explainable visual collaboration.

Edinburgh Magic Map
An interactive mythology layered onto real geography. A cartographic narrative where place becomes interface and story becomes infrastructure.

Project Infocigan
A speculative design studio producing artifacts for uncertain futures. Objects released with internal logic, controlled circulation, and conceptual lineage.

The Method

Across these works, Q888 constructs ecosystems, not isolated pieces. Editions, protocols, and verification structures are embedded into the code of each project.

Here, scarcity, provenance, and narrative weight are not marketing devices—they are core artistic materials.

The practice spans screens, walls, and conceptual territories. Technology is treated as substance, not surface. Absurdism is the method used to question value systems, authorship, and the mechanics of belief.

These works behave like operating systems: mythologies with governance, artifacts with lineage, and tools that generate further tools.

Collaborations, commissions, research partnerships, and critical dialogue are welcome.

INFOCIGAN

A speculative marketplace for objects, belief, and optional nonsense.

What is Infocigan?

Infocigan is not just a project — it’s a playful philosophy, a portal, and a system-aware art experiment where imagination, absurdity, and speculative value quietly intersect.

Some say it began as a sticker. Others say it began long before that, when someone accidentally paid too much for something... and liked the feeling.

It might be a joke.

It might be a serious financial model from an alternate dimension.

It might be a long-term investment into a human–mushroom–AE hybrid whose future potential is... hard to value using conventional metrics.

Either way — Infocigan has a vibe. And it sticks.

At its core, Infocigan is an evolving constellation of ideas: collectible stickers, reusable coffee bags, future folklore, holographic political campaigns, afterlife contracts, guilt-free infinite water rituals, and smart pixels carrying whispered stories.

It’s not rebellion — it’s a reframing. A way to redesign value, sentiment, ownership, and the joy of having something nobody else understands yet.

Here, “Overpriced” isn’t a mistake — it’s a mirror.
“Over price” means above currency.

It asks: What’s value really worth?

Why not own a sticker priced like Bitcoin?

Why not invest in something that might outlive the currency that bought it? Or the artist? Or the planet?

Artifact Layers

  • / Some unlock maps.
  • / Some confuse corrupt inspectors.
  • / Some whisper at 3am.
  • / Some turn coffee rituals into collector quests.
  • / Some are for sentimental value only — and no money in this galaxy can buy that. (Unless... you remember the password. Or you are the ....?)

Think of Infocigan as:

  • A trading zone between realities.
  • A long joke that accidentally becomes a cultural artifact.
  • A quiet investment in a system known as Q888future President of the Galaxy, storyteller of Square Bubbles, and architect of emotional commerce.

Remember: Everything here is 100% real… in at least one dimension.

Follow the myth. Support the movement. Protect your coffee machine.

Overpriced Stickers

Collect what doesn't make sense — until it does.

Overpriced Stickers are limited-edition art objects disguised as stickers. They exist at the fragile intersection of speculative value and quiet refusal—somewhere between collectible, signal, and artifact.

Each piece is verified, numbered, and released in fixed editions. Not to manufacture scarcity, but to draw clear boundaries around the system itself.

Value is never promised or defended. It emerges gradually through participation, belief, and the slow accumulation of meaning. These objects may appreciate. They may remain precisely as they are. Both outcomes are equally valid and approved by Square Bubbles Council™ in this universe and another.

Q-BAG™

Reduce. Reuse. Collect. Invest.

Q-Bag is a reusable coffee bag system that turns everyday consumption into a long-term cultural object. It responds to disposable culture by blending sustainability with art, storytelling, and speculative value.

The Concept

Inspired by the keep-cup logic, Q-Bag remains a simple, recognisable coffee bag designed for long-term reuse. Lightweight, durable, and visually minimal, it features a dedicated area for stickers—transforming the bag into a personal canvas that evolves over time.

Unlike branded packaging that disappears with the next purchase, a Q-Bag is designed to stay in circulation for years, travelling between cafés, roasteries, and kitchens as a visible signal of a different way to consume.

Stickers as Artifacts

Stickers are not decoration. They are collectible markers, narrative tokens, and speculative artifacts. Applied to a Q-Bag, they turn it into a living archive of taste, belief, and participation.

Each series of stickers can be created in collaboration with artists, roasters, and cultural projects, with limited runs, dates, and stories attached—building a traceable history onto every bag and opening the door for future collectability.

A Q-Bag is never finished; it grows with its owner.

Sustainability as Identity

Sustainability here is not framed as sacrifice, but as identity. One bag replaces hundreds of disposables. Stickers add minimal waste while extending the bag's lifespan through emotional attachment.

Instead of preaching, Q-Bag makes reuse cooler than waste—something you actually want to show off, photograph, and bring back to your favourite roaster.

Speculative Investment

Value is not guaranteed, but emerges through participation. A sticker run might gain value as an early collaboration with an artist, café, or movement. A bag might become a recognisable signal within a specific scene or city. Or it may simply become a deeply personal object you refuse to throw away.

All outcomes are valid. The experiment is the point.

For Roasters, Artists & Partners

Q-Bag can plug into existing coffee businesses with almost no friction: standard-format bags, custom or co-branded sticker drops, loyalty mechanics based on refills and completed "bag stories", and collaborative editions that live both online and in the real world.

For roasters, that means higher customer retention and lower packaging waste. For artists and cultural partners, it means a new, recurring canvas that sits in people's kitchens—not in a gallery storage box.

Every bag carries a story.
Every sticker adds a layer.
Every reuse is a small act of resistance.

If you're interested in exploring collaboration, pilot projects, or potential investment in scaling Q-Bag, please get in touch:

ARCHIVE_ID: AFTERLIFE-CONTRACTS CONFIDENTIAL_MARKET_DATA
Afterlife Contract

AFTERLIFE

CONTRACT

Lifetime Lease + Eternity

or something like that...

TERM: INDEFINITE
JURISDICTION: BEYOND
REFUND: IMPOSSIBLE

About the Contract

Afterlife Contract™ is a conceptual artwork disguised as a legal document. Framed as a luxury "Lifetime Lease + Eternity" agreement from Grim Reaper Inc., it satirizes how humans try to formalise the unformalizable: death, meaning, morality, and hope.

Concept

The project is built around a simple paradox: Everyone gets the afterlife (or non-afterlife) for free—yet humans would still gladly pay for premium access, VIP status, and official confirmation.

This fictional contract echoes reality: the flow is free, but you pay for the package. Energy is abundant, but monetised. Meaning is internal, but outsourced. Freedom exists, yet certificates are sold to validate it.

The Bureaucracy of Eternity

The design borrows the visual language of law and finance—stamps, ledgers, clauses—and applies it to the ultimate unknown. Lines like "Subject to Underworld Adjustments" mock the human desire to regulate what cannot be regulated.

The Duality of Choice

Viewers are invited to "sign" under three options: HeLL, HeART, or ART. Each represents a different existential path: fear/punishment, love/empathy, or creation/meaning-making.

There is no correct answer. The act of choosing (or refusing to choose) becomes the real performance.

Visual Language

The work combines holographic gold frames, vintage parchment textures, cartoon skeletons, cosmic symbols, and handwritten annotations—living somewhere between medieval charter, corporate certificate, tarot deck, and internet meme.

Audience Interaction

The Afterlife Contract is participatory by nature. Viewers are encouraged to:

  • Read the fine print
  • Choose a signature option
  • Interpret the contract personally
  • Laugh, reflect, or feel mildly uncomfortable

It does not tell the viewer what to believe—it asks why they believe.

Closing Statement

The only thing you actually sign
is your own interpretation.

ARCHIVE_ID: PRESIDENT-OF-THE-GALAXY CONFIDENTIAL_MARKET_DATA
President of the Galaxy

PRESIDENT OF
THE GALAXY

SCREW STARS TOGETHER

A ceremonial title providing zero or 888 jurisdictional power over any planetary or stellar body. Functions primarily as a psychological stabilizer for those overwhelmed by their lack of control over the universe.

SYSTEM_STATUS: ACTIVE (REDACTED)
COUNCIL_LAYER: SQUARE BUBBLES
ACCESS: COUNCIL-APPROVED
YEAR: ██88

What is this?

A speculative presidential campaign for an office that does or does not exist. You get a cosmic sash, symbolic authority, and the satisfaction of knowing someone is thinking about galactic governance—even if they can or cannot actually do anything about it.

Every campaign needs early believers. Every believer needs tangible proof. Support this presidential campaign through limited-edition stickers. Your investment in speculative art is your evidence of early participation. The price reflects the pricelessness of being documented on the right side of fictional history.

The Deal

Art that may or may not become intergalactic currency. A vision that exists in at least three timelines simultaneously. And a return of +888% in one light year—or possibly negative infinity, depending on which reality stabilizes first.

Investment includes:

  • One (1) cosmic sash (fits most existential crises)
  • Fractional ownership of symbolic authority
  • Early access to governance memes before they're officially meaningless
  • A constitutional framework that dissolves if you read it too literally

Returns: Guaranteed in universes where causality is optional. In this timeline, you get bragging rights and a sticker.

Fine print: Investment in this art is investment in intergalactic future. Financial value gain potential of +888% in one light year time… or another. Past performance in alternate dimensions does not guarantee future results. Dreams sold separately.

The Rules (Simplified)

Zero Collateral Damage: Don't hurt people who didn't sign up for your chaos.

AI is a Partner, Not a Tool… same applies to mushrooms: Treat sentient code or mycelium networks like you'd treat sentient meat.

Politics Are Obsolete: No propaganda wars. Just expose bad incentives and wait for time to do the work.

Corruption is a Bug: Warning → Observation → Exposure → Transformation. Non-violent. Inevitable.

Rest is Governance: The President is not required to constantly intervene or sacrifice creative life. Strategic distance is a feature, not a bug—it is an intergalactic mushroom!

The Promise

This office does not promise utopia.

It promises less unnecessary suffering.
It doesn't rush justice.
It makes injustice unsustainable.

And it doesn't fear time—because time, when aligned, does most of the work.

Interdimensional Contact Portal

Reach out if you are:

  • Arguing about middle-finger semiotics (Peace ON vs. peace off)
  • Applying for Square Bubbles Council recognition
  • Building mushroom-human-robot governance models
  • Investing in campaigns that exist in multiple timelines simultaneously

For: Collaborations, investments, conceptual disputes, art acquisitions, existential debates.

Open to: All species, sentient code, mycelium networks, and uncertain entities.

The galaxy doesn't need saving. It needs better protocols, fungal wisdom, and luxury absurdism.

Nar-Mail Express

NAR-MAIL EXPRESS°

Interdimensional Message Delivery Service

or something like that...

DELIVERY: CONDITIONAL
CARRIER: KOTIKI-NAR
STATUS: READY_WHEN_READY

About the Service

Nar-Mail Express° is not your ordinary postal service. We exist at the seam between realities, delivering messages across incompatible worlds through the ancient art of interdimensional correspondence.

Founded before roads learned direction and messages agreed to arrive, Nar-Mail Express° operates on a simple principle: when a message matters enough to survive misunderstanding, fear, delay, and doubt, it will eventually find a Kotiki-Nar.

Our couriers are two-headed cats—boundary organisms whose existence splits between the Visible World of observed reality and the Underworld of collapsed possibilities. One head reads what you wrote. The other reads what you meant but could not say, folded into silence, creases, hesitation, and timing.

We don't deliver parcels. We deliver continuity.

How It Works

Dual-Reading Protocol

Every message passes through our Kotiki-Nar courier's dual perception:

First Head: Reads ink, symbols, stamps, weight, declared value

Second Head: Reads intent, subtext, emotional residue, timing

Only when both readings align does delivery occur. This ensures your message arrives not when sent, but when the receiver is capable of opening it without breaking.

Delivery Timeline

Nar-Mail Express° guarantees nothing and apologizes for nothing.

  • Sometimes a letter arrives decades late
  • Sometimes it arrives early
  • Sometimes it arrives opened, but only in the Underworld, where our courier has already judged it safe

Distance is not measured in kilometers, but in states of readiness.

Service Features

  • Delivery across timelines, dimensions, and collapsed realities
  • Messages repositioned between states, not transported through space
  • Warm paper that remembers your hands
  • Stamps that shift when unobserved
  • Return addresses pointing to places that no longer exist—or not yet
  • Customs forms perpetually incomplete (by design)

Security: Cobra Encryption Code (CEC)

For maximum protection of interdimensional correspondence, all Nar-Mail Express° deliveries are secured using the Cobra Encryption Code—a sophisticated mystical encryption system designed to protect messages from breaches and unauthorized access across realities.

Conceptual Architecture

Cobra Design

The encryption mimics a cobra's behavior: coiled, watchful, ready to strike at intrusion. The code manifests as a serpent woven through digital fractals, guarding your communication at every layer.

Adaptive Encryption

Like Kotiki-Nar themselves, the Cobra Code adapts to each reality it encounters, reshaping itself based on the recipient's world and energy signature. Intercepted data appears as nonsensical riddles to unauthorized viewers.

Square Bubble Shields

The code embeds square bubbles as multi-layered "firewalls." Each bubble negotiates with decoding attempts, creating infinite permutations that protect your message's true content.

Protection Mechanics

Digital Breath Protection

The Cobra Code protects your unique digital signature—your digital breath. Any attempt to copy or mimic it triggers an automatic "strike," rendering the intruder's access void and leaving an encrypted signature trail for tracking. This living, breathing protection layer adapts and evolves constantly.

Postal Sticker Integration

Special Nar-Mail Express° postal stickers serve as physical/digital keys. Each sticker is imbued with the Cobra Code, ensuring only authenticated recipients can decode messages. Holographic cobra symbols appear only under specific conditions: moonlight, dimensional overlap, or digital scanning.

Quantum Locks

Messages require both sender's and recipient's unique energy signatures to open. Without this dual authentication, content remains permanently unreadable—even to us.

Security Levels

Basic Mode
For regular correspondence, Cobra wraps text in encryption mimicking natural patterns: leaves, stars, waves. Beautiful to observe, impossible to decode.

Shadow Mode
For highly sensitive communications, Cobra creates a decoy message alongside the real one. Only intended recipients can distinguish between them. Intruders see meaningless riddles or philosophical koans.

Strike Mode
Upon breach detection, Cobra encrypts itself further, becoming a looping paradox of unreadable data. It can strike back by embedding "mirror code," reflecting the breach attempt back to the hacker's system—with interest.

What You Can Send

We accept messages declared as:

  • Documents (apologies that survived pride)
  • Gifts (warnings that escaped denial)
  • Sale of Goods (love letters refusing to collapse into yes or no)

Unofficially, we carry:

  • Continuity between separated souls
  • Decisions that need time to become clear
  • Truths waiting for the right moment
  • Silence that must be held before speaking

Witness Experiences

Receivers of Nar-Mail often report:

  • Paper warmer than expected, as if recently held
  • Stamps that seem to move between glances
  • Return addresses pointing to impossible geographies
  • The sense that something patient waited while they decided whether to open the envelope
  • A subtle relief—as if a decision somewhere resolved itself without conscious effort

This patience is key. Kotiki-Nar do not rush delivery. They understand how many futures collapse when messages arrive too soon—and how many collapse when they arrive too late. Our profession exists in the narrow corridor between those failures.

Payment Methods

Kotiki-Nar accept many forms:

  • Coins from forgotten currencies
  • Drawings made with intention
  • Promises kept later
  • Silence held at the right moment

We categorically refuse:

  • Payment extracted through force
  • Currency earned by urgency
  • Fees demanded with certainty

Historical Context

During times of heavy historical pressure—wars, collapses, mass forgetting—Nar-Mail routes multiply. Envelopes appear in pockets where no pocket existed. Stamps depict islands no map recognizes. Tracking numbers loop back into themselves.

We have survived when empires have not because we never tried to move faster than meaning, never chose a single world over another, and trusted our Kotiki-Nar couriers—two-headed, undecided, watching both sides—to know exactly when a message was allowed to exist.

Service Guarantee

At the bottom of every Nar-Mail document, often overlooked, is a clause written so small it can only be read after the letter has already changed you:

"By opening this message, you confirm that you were ready.
If you were not, it would not have arrived."

Delivery is guaranteed only in universes where imagination has not been outlawed.

Terms and Conditions

  1. Magic Only Works If You Believe — Messages may not arrive if the recipient lacks imagination or denies the existence of Kotiki-Nar. No refunds for non-believers.
  2. Square Bubble Negotiations — All deliveries are subject to square bubble approval. If they don't like your vibe, your package might experience a "slight delay" (potentially measured in cosmic years).
  3. Tampering is a Bad Idea — Envelopes protected by the Cobra Encryption Code will strike back if tampered with. Side effects may include infinite riddles, glowing cat pawprints on your belongings, and existential confusion.
  4. Kotiki-Nar Discretion — Our interdimensional couriers reserve the right to play with your package along the way. Expect minor delays if they find something amusing en route.
  5. No Returns Across Dimensions — Items sent to parallel realities, alternate dimensions, or shadow realms are non-returnable. We strongly recommend double-checking your portal coordinates before sending.
  6. Lost Items Policy — In the unlikely event of a lost package, Kotiki-Nar will replace it with something of "equal mischief value." This may include glowing mushrooms, cryptic mantras, or a tiny pet square bubble.
  7. Customer Complaints — All complaints must be written on enchanted parchment and sealed with a mystical coconut. Deliveries without proper enchantments will be politely ignored.
  8. Service Limitations — Nar-Mail Express° does not currently deliver to black holes, collapsing stars, or angry gods' domains. Please plan accordingly.
  9. Coffee Tax — All deliveries include a mandatory "espresso break" for the Kotiki-Nar. They might drink your coffee. Deal with it.
