scrawl.place is an art project about place and presence.
Messages left here are tied to physical locations. You can only read or leave a note when your device is actually at that spot. Walk away and the wall closes.
Notes are permanent. Like real graffiti, they don't get cleaned up. They accumulate over time, left by strangers who happened to stand where you're standing.
Every spot has a name — a short code like c2b2q5x. The wall calls them fragments. Nearby fragments share a prefix; the closer you are to someone, the more letters you have in common.
A fragment is roughly the size of a city block — about 150 meters across. Most landmarks fit inside one. Sometimes the grid cuts through a building, splitting it into two walls.
No accounts. No images. No algorithms. Just text and place.
This is a toy, not a product. It's meant to be simple and a little strange.
