My entry in the Jamverse Jam, a shared-world fiction and art competition from Protocolized, the magazine and media hub for the Protocol Institute. Civic communications in Mayaford may not be what they appear. Concept SECOND COAT is a new graffiti method in Mayaford that baits the city into turning cleanup/abatement efforts into a medium of its own. Participants place small, selectively perceptible “seeds” and the city responds by covering these unauthorized markings with cleaning solvents, primer fields, replacement panels, barricades, and work-order overlays.
