Matrix of Godlike Thematic Creativity
What is the Matrix?
The Matrix of Godlike Thematic Creativity (MGCT) exists in order to bring humans' creativity kicking and screaming to the surface. In other words, it's an attempt to build a feedback loop of inspiration and boost people's confidence in their own creative powers.
Every so often a new theme will be posted on this page, along with a time limit. Your challenge will be to create something that relates to that theme. In other words, make some sort of media, ready for legions of your potential fans to consume and be happy....
The word media should not be taken as a constraint...the contribution can be ANYTHING, even including computer programs, electronic circuitry or perhaps a recipe (-: In cases like the latter, please attach to photos any specific instructions, like the circuit diagram or special directions for the enjoyment of the food item.

The actual mechanism of submission is yet to be sorted out. For now, just email Tristan Miller if you want to submit something, and things will generally work out. If you know of some excellent submission system we can implement, please drop us a line! Your contribution would be much appreciated, especially if you can help deploy the system. Some strange form of reward may be in the works for the righteous.

Theme Number Two - Forklift Worship
Time Limit
There is none! Once we have enough material the entry will be closed.
Special Notes
Forklifts are a very special machine. What's more, there is great demand for forklift-related stuff at this point in our civilisation. Celebrate, condemn or improve them, whatever you do just make sure it doesn't cause a murder!
