YOU SCANNED SOMETHING THAT SCANS BACK
CODE 128 · NOT A QR · VS-000714-Δ

VOID STATE

A sticker doesn't ask permission before it links you somewhere. Neither do we. Signal acquired, transmission follows below.

SCROLL // DECODE
TRANSMISSION 01

Your sticker isn't a link. It's a key.

The code printed under your barcode isn't decorative and it isn't checked against a database somewhere — there is no server here. It's the actual passphrase to a real encryption key. Type it in exactly as printed. Wrong key, hard mathematical no.

AES-256-GCM · PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 · 250,000 ITERATIONS · RUNS ENTIRELY IN YOUR BROWSER
TRANSMISSION 02

The wired doesn't have an exit, it has an accent.

VOID STATE isn't a store that also has a Discord. It's the reverse: a signal that occasionally prints itself onto fabric so it can survive outside a browser tab.

The stickers went up dark and reflective on purpose. In daylight they're nothing — a black rectangle, easy to miss. Under headlights, phone flash, streetlight, they throw back an oil-slick color that isn't really there. That's the whole thesis. Most of what's true about a signal only shows up when something else is lighting it.

No app. No camera trick. Just a barcode, a number, and whoever was paying enough attention to type it in by hand.

"you keep asking where the community is, like it has to be somewhere. it's not a place. it's just everyone who noticed the sticker wasn't advertising anything, and got curious about that instead."

TRANSMISSION 03

Decrypting gets you a message. This gets you the next one.

> RECEIVED. YOU'LL HEAR SOMETHING WHEN THERE'S SOMETHING TO HEAR.
Access isn't a newsletter. It's how you find out before the stickers do —
drops, drop locations, and whatever we decide to do with the map on the right.
TRANSMISSION 04

Garments are just stickers that got bigger.

ARTIFACT / 01

FIRST PRINT

The original run. Single-color, screen-print only — nothing about it exists as a file you can just download and reproduce.

STATUS: SEALED
ARTIFACT / 02

FIELD STICKER, RETROREFLECTIVE

Same vinyl as the ones on the street. Holographic under direct light, flat black otherwise. Not sold — only ever placed or handed off.

STATUS: IN CIRCULATION
ARTIFACT / 03

NEXT DROP

Unannounced. Access holders get the coordinates first. Everyone else gets the barcode when it's already gone.

STATUS: PENDING
TRANSMISSION 05

The stickers aren't evenly distributed. That's the point.

We're not going to hand you a map — that defeats the entire premise of a sticker you had to physically walk past to find. What we will say: there are more of them than you've seen, they aren't finished going up, and the ones already placed don't all link here anymore.
