WAVE
Words in Action for a Verbal Evolution
Why WAVE?
We propose the creation of an Observatory for the Collective Creation of a Language for a New Humanity.
A transdisciplinary initiative that observes, maps, creates and activates new languages to imagine possible futures.
An infrastructure of thought that does not limit itself to observing the world, but starting from the exploration of the intersections between crisis and opportunity, in an imaginary line that connects past, present and future, contributes to transforming it.
The Observatory aims to develop a shared language that fosters cultural and social evolution, and evolves through interconnection and synergy. A language that can become an engine of collective and choral transformation.
The Observatory presents itself as a network of social observation, a compass that orients, identifies and collects emerging forces of change, and optimizes the transfer of information and energy to create a new reality.
New meanings and new languages help write a new story in which we can dream again.

WAVEpulse
The WAVEpulses are mailboxes made of recycled plastic PET filaments, and created with a 3D printer.
The boxes will be used to collect the meanings of the words that people are invited to write, on a regular basis.
These mailboxes will help us to intercept new meanings, urgent questions and possible futures.
We invite people to write as a radical act of collective imagination.
The WAVEpulses will be used as a resonance system that transforms vibrations, meanings and beats,
in a powerful invitation to collective action aimed at creating new imaginaries and languages.
Soon the WAVEpulse KIT will be available on demand.
