Was meaning to do this while I was in Belfast yesterday but didn't get a chance to check it out. Looking through the images of the graffiti that have been posted on the twitter account, there appear to be 7 different locations. One of them is listed with coordinates, the other has a postal code. There are 7 stars of the pleiades used as clues in the youtube video. I'm wondering what if the locations of the rest of the graffiti'd logos match up with a picture of the pleiades superimposed over a map of Belfast. If this is correct, then I believe Taygete and Merope are the two that have been hinted at us, the rest just need to be placed accordingly and then checked out in person.

Not sure where this is going yet, but obviously somewhere.

These are definitely not exact spots, but here is an approximation of where the graffitis are located if I'm right in my guess.

interesting to see that the 7 sisters are somewhat located in the same positions as the star chart..

The Star Factory in that starfactory_map image linked above could be Alycone.

I can't make sense of the numbers. One appears to say #2, the other #0, but I think it's a clue we already have.


And nobody seems to have noticed, but the
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
map image on thestarfactory.html leads to a Google Maps page. Specifically, Donegal Road. Find the Star Factory near the left side of the map and click on it. To the left of the starting point is a church that calls the road Donegall Road, The photos tab shows one Belfast Hostel. I'm going to keep looking for clues, and for anyone else who wants to, see if you can help compare the map to what's actually there, it's proving tricky, likely because the map represents what the place used to look like. A few things...

1. Donegal/l Road is most likely the big main road on the map.
2. It's hard to read the street names on the map. There's what appears to be Nubia Street on the map, but it seems to go in the opposite direction to the actual Nubia Street.
3. The map appears to be upside-down. As in, south is at the top instead of north.

Oh, Meth. Ch... That's the Methodical Church. So it's not upside-down. The other church seems to be a pharmacy now. I wonder if we've actually been given a map of this "Invisible Belfast"?

so i dont think we were supposed to find this map yet! looking at the email sent out

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Catherine, this strange city is drenched in narrative. Look at the walls of the labyrinth: layers of time, peeling away to reveal a rich and infernal history. Embedded in every layer of the journey, you'll find the past.

All futures, of course, in their infinite plurabilities, wait to be written.

This is the way the city grows: from a single point of human contact, relationships emerge and unravel, and labyrinthine paths spread over hills and valleys, through space and time. Our protagonist is beginning to discover that she, too, is embedded in the structure of the city. Veritas.

This city is marked with a number, and from this number it grew. This is the start of our tale, as it was the beginning of the city. This number will unlock the door to the maze.



i got the answer in my above post but not sure it works

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Once, poetic fantasies of young boys ran wild here. They snuck in through the window cracks, and made discoveries among the lost and discarded objects. From such ruins, they built universes.



Such impulses to rebellion are natural; circumlocution, digression, and irreverent humour—in short, play—are native to Belfast.



You'll make games of scouting out the cracks within the place … urban cracks, ports and gates amid the fractal, fractious epic of Belfast debris. You'll lay low, and create worlds within worlds. You rebels hack the system, and thus avoid repressive violence and mechanized communication.



But, are you creative? Or are you paranoid?



Consider the source.
