Message off-grid
Dead zone or dust storm, your words will still find your people: radio to radio.
Step-by-step to a person, a camp, your bike, or the art car from 3am.
Constellation is an off-grid app for Burning Man with mesh enabled messaging & live location: find your people, check in through the whiteouts, walk each other home.
Every phone is a node. Together we weave Black Rock City into its own living network, alive only inside the trash fence.
Connect to the mesh with this simple prayer. A small ritual to increase direct connection.
Nine digital rights we hold as sacred.
I can speak freely. I can share my thoughts, ideas, and work without needing permission — and without fear of censorship or erasure.
I can speak privately. I can share, organize, and express myself without being tracked, recorded, or overheard.
I own my data. My files, messages, and memories belong to me. I decide who can see them — and I can take that access away at any time.
I connect directly. I use systems that link people and devices without needing companies, platforms, or governments in the middle.
I verify what happens. I don’t have to guess or assume. Every action leaves a trail I can check for myself.
I decide what to share. My information is private by default. Others only see what I choose to show — and only as much as they need.
I count on my tools. My systems keep working, even offline, under pressure, or outside the mainstream. They don’t break when someone says so.
I own my identity. It moves with me. It’s under my control, not tied to any platform — and I decide who can use it.
I set my own boundaries & limits, to avoid harm, and maintain control. I choose how others reach me, interact with me, and affect my experience.
