This is an Open Artifacts project.

What is an Open Artifact?

Think of Open Artifacts as open source for everything humans create, from toys to governments. They give life to our ideas by inviting the community to join us in their development.

Like open-source software, these projects are free to use, adapt, and improve. Cultural Creators, like us, engage with open artifacts as part of our Creative Practice to improve ourselves and to help build a better world.

Visit Evolve The World to learn more about these concepts and how they fit together.

A Bit About Us

I built the board for the original Crystal Word Chain game over 25 years ago. That was long before I thought about what a Personal Universe or an Open Artifact was. Over the years, I wondered if there was some way that I could share my idea with others. I also wondered if my little word game could be be re-imagined as a more useful tool for personal growth. The result is this website.

If you're curious about what I mean by Personal Universe and Open Artifact, I recommend you visit the Evolve the World website (also one of my projects) to learn more.
