Summary:

Ever wondered what it’s like to be literally upgraded? At Chip-In!, we inject participants with RFID chips—just like the ones you can get from Dangerous Things (or Alibaba, if you’re feeling thrifty). Whether you want to scan into your house like a cyberpunk overlord, store a digital business card under your skin, or just weird people out at airport security, this is the place to make it happen.

No experience? No problem. Just like body waxing, fire spinning, or questionable tattoo decisions, we learn as we go. If someone already knows how to do it, great! If not, well… trial and error has worked for humanity so far.

What We Provide:

• RFID Chips: Bulk-ordered, cheap, and probably sterile!

• Injection Kits: Syringes, gloves, antiseptic wipes… the works.

• A Learning Environment: First time? No worries. Watch, learn, and poke.

• Cyberpunk Vibes: Think glowing lights, chrome décor, and a totally unnecessary but awesome “registration desk” where you get “scanned in.”

• Commemorative Patches/Stickers: “I Got Chipped at Burning Man” or something equally absurd.

Participant Experience:

1. Sign the Totally Real Waiver™ – We don’t check licenses because, let’s be honest, Burning Man is full of people doing way more extreme things without one.

2. Pick Your Spot – The classic “between the thumb and forefinger” is a fan favorite, but if you want it somewhere else, we’ll figure it out.

3. Get Chipped! – A quick pinch, and boom—you’re now a cyborg.

4. Test Your Powers – We’ll have some scanners and devices to confirm that, yes, you are now an upgraded human.

Why Do This?

Because it’s cool. Because it makes access control to your RV way easier. Because “I have a microchip in me” is a conversation starter that never fails.

What We Need:

• A bunch of RFID chips (easy).

• Injection kits (even easier).

• A chill space with cyberpunk aesthetics (neon lights, maybe some retro-futuristic décor).

• A few volunteers (or just brave souls willing to go first).

Stretch Goals:

• NFC/RFID-powered art installations or doors at the camp that only chipped people can activate.

• A “first-time injector” certification badge (totally made up, but fun).
