Project skyscraper / no man's sky arg

One of the other two scuptures: Dame Holdierne: Google Maps

I’ve not found the third yet.

The do look a bit not unlike Autophages, to me.

so the sculpture from the image does not exist anymore.

when is the next expected refresh for the site? Tomorrow?

Has anyone had any luck looking into the quote page?

@the_architect was just here 3 mins ago. Everyone wave hello to the architect! HI ARCHITECT!

Sorry, here’s the original finder of the artist, I think, but see posts above this one too (team effort).

Thanks to @Polyphemus, @Mad-Hatter, @William, @ThatBomberBoi and of course @Gumsk

One thing to note, the 1 in the sign is an LLM artefact that it extrapolated from the light on it, in the original. I think that’s the sign that gives details of the artist and sculpture.

Hi fellow CSD team,

My sincere apologies , I am very late to joining the interaction here.

Has anyone else posted about the node map and that clicking on a node highlights a specific node cluster in red.

My initial thoughts are IP address mapping, and the live connection attempts are number of live instances of the site open at that time, I.e. count of concurrent users accessing the website.

Also compared to some of the earlier screenshots posted the node network seems to have grown/increased in number of nodes and node interconnection.

Some screenshots I took today showing some of the different node clusters in red

Again apologies if this insight/notes have been posted previously

This page suggests there are only the two sculptures.

Does not exist anymore?

I think it possibly still does, though it has had it’s moments of high drama.

EDIT it’s been confirmed it doesn’t .

A quick search back in this mess of a topic, got me this reply

It’s still there, but it’s a bit worse for wear.

Cool thanks :blush: @DevilinPixy

Further thoughts:

This content from May 21, 2026 security log seems to support the IP mapping explanation.

In addition, my interpretation is that a pattern / sequence of connections to the site is needed at some point to achieve a certain outcome.

Threat: MULTIPLE_UNCOORDINATED_CONNECTION_ATTEMPTS

Origin: Distributed_sources (1034 IPs)

Details:

Brute force signatures show haphazard attempts.

No coherent pattern detected.

Threat contained.

IPs logged confirm multiple locations.

US-GB-ES-FR-MX-DE-CA-IE-BE-AU

Further raw thoughts:

What if the locations listed need at least 1 connection from each IP country range at the same time to trigger something

Also based on a larger community inclusion aspect to celebrate 10yr anniversary as a game played and loved globally, something like a combination, e.g. 1 user/IP from 16 unique locations/IPs, or 16 users/IPs from x number of unique locations/IPs. :thinking:

Someone in the French section of the community visited the spot and found the sculpture is no longer there

Disappeared a month ago?

Guys I think we are just following an ARG for the relaunch and repatriation of The Forgeron :joy: :rofl: :zany_face:

I swear, if key community members start receiving bits of dead wood in the mail… :melting_face:

So it was recently removed. I had seen it flooded and in bad shape, although looked to have been reinstated. That must have been disappointing … Nothing found at all?

I feel like the bee emoji and the emergence of this ARG with the 10th anniversary nearby is no coincidence at all

Nope, no geocache/dead drop/anything of relevance.

Like Autophages, there and not there.

That lake is called Longpont - which could be read to mean long bridge. Is that an angle that could be investigated?

Skyscrapers are just long bridges to the sky (that was an absolute reach, I couldn’t help myself)
