About Fresco
A laboratory for the environments around us.
We think environments profoundly influence how people live. So we’re building a community where digital, social, and eventually physical environments can be openly designed, tested, and improved.
People choose the work.
Citizens propose ideas, opt into experiments, criticize results, and signal next steps.
The environment is material.
Defaults, spaces, tools, rituals, access, and coordination can all be redesigned.
Why “Fresco”?
The name acknowledges Jacque Fresco’s insistence that science and environmental design can address social problems. It also borrows the painting metaphor: pigment becomes part of the plaster rather than a cosmetic layer added after the fact. Change the environment itself.
Independent project: Fresco is not The Venus Project and is not officially affiliated with Jacque Fresco, The Venus Project, or related organizations.
No finished model. No sacred assumption.
If evidence contradicts an idea, update it. If an experiment fails, record it. If a design becomes obsolete, replace it.
