In 2012, the Niantic Project engaged in a revolutionary experiment.
Oliver Lynton-Wolfe, creator of the Ingress Scanner, conducted a routine test on a new XM construct: The Power Cube. For reasons that remain unknown, it destabilized, bathing the Niantic Project research facility in XM.
For one night, the Niantic Researchers, a diverse group of artists and scientists, experienced a heightened flood of awareness and insight. An Epiphany Night.
What caused that event? And could it be caused again?
Driven by the creative energy of Ingress Agents, a new Epiphany Night looms.
On May 25 - 27, 2018, agents will come together
to create, to explore, to reinvent —
and to discover the consequences.
What will you see, when the XM unclouds your vision?
Hundred of agents will convene at a medieval castle in the middle of Bavaria. Together, they will construct thirteen Portal Luminance Projects -- works of art that connect to live XM portals.
In addition to exploring the natural beauty that surrounds them, agents will also be able to use these Portal Luminance Projects to investigate the cause of the Niantic Project's Epiphany Night...and to create one of their own.
We will provide camp beds for free. They held up to 125kg. To get a camp bed we will need 20 Euro in cash as deposit. You will set it up and dismantle it on your own. Please, bring your own bedrolls, pillows and blankets! You can also buy a personalized “Osiris Epiphany Night” bedroll at the ticket shop and pick it up at the information point.
Included in the ticket.
Dinner Friday & Saturday incl. drinks
Brunch Saturday & Sunday incl. drinks
You may buy medieval (warm) snacks on Fri and Sat between 12:00 - 17:00 at our Snackbar next to the campsite.
Tell us during ticket purchase if you are vegetarian or not so we can provide enough vegetarian food.
