Spectra

Projects

Medium- and long-term expeditionary projects are proposed and voted on by city modders. When a project reaches enough votes, it is launched by a project team. Projects can involve both Spectra community members as well as outside guests and partner institutions. Projects can be open-ended and don’t require specific deliverables. At the end of a project, team members can submit all or part of their work to be added to the Source City.
