s3 showcase: i'm wired _____
WE'RE ALL WIRED A LITTLE FUNNY.
some people read psychology papers to design games. some people go to pulau ubin to vibe code. some people go into rabbit holes researching new ways to build communities.
and some spend 6 hours trying to craft out a 1-sentence poem.
we love these people.
at fireplace, we're GINORMOUS fans of humans being unapologetically human. especially when they start exploring their weird little interests, making things that probably shouldn't exist, and discovering parts of themselves they didn't even know were there.
you know those moments when someone goes from "this is probably a stupid idea" to "WAIT. I THINK I'M ONTO SOMETHING."
we LIVE FOR THAT.
so we've been gathering a bunch of wonderfully wired humans through our what if you just did it (WIYJDI) creative sprint letting them work on their thing for 4 straight weeks.
And now we have a situation.
these humans have been making things. lots of things. games. art. experiments. things we don't even know how to categorise.
And we figured it would be crazy to keep all this brilliance to ourselves.
SO WE'RE OPENING THE DOORS.
come meet the humans. poke around their brains. discover what they've been cooking.
show up curious, or stalk us first: @thisisfireplace
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Humans with ideas.
Humans without ideas.
Humans with 700 ideas and zero idea what to do with them.
Humans who just want to look at cool things.
Humans who have been told they're "a bit much."
Humans who have absolutely no idea why they're here but somehow ended up here.
Humans. who want to human
WHAT'S GOING DOWN?
it's an open showcase. in a makerspace. apart from the cool space, this means you can drop by whenever, wander around, make new friends, and disappear down whichever rabbit hole catches your attention.
12–2pm | COME SEE WHAT THE HUMANS DID
Our community has been busy making things. Now you get to see them.
Explore their ideas, ask mildly intrusive questions about their creative processes, and design and record your own cassette tape. Yes, an actual cassette tape. It's 2026. We're going backwards technologically.
1–1:30pm | OPENING CEREMONY (DAY 1 ONLY)
We're officially opening the thing. There may be speeches. We promise to keep everyone alive.
2–2:30pm | AROUND THE FIREPLACE: IRL PODCAST PT. 1
podcast irl.
around the fireplace.
and some marshmallow.
u get to engage in a podcast convo of us interviewing people working on their 2am ideas
WHAAAT so cool
2:30–4pm | BACK INTO THE RABBIT HOLES
More ideas. More weird humans. More cassette tapes.
4–4:30pm | AROUND THE FIREPLACE: IRL PODCAST PT. 2
another round of AROUND THE FIREPLACE
WHY SHOULD YOU COME?
because the world has enough people doing things they're supposed to do.
we want to celebrate people doing things they can't help but love.
come get inspired by humans making things that matter to them. meet potential collaborators, future friends, or someone who shares your extremely niche obsession.
who knows? u might leave with an idea.
or five.
or maybe a sudden urge to quit everything and become a professional frog photographer oops
HOUSE RULES (YES, EVEN WE HAVE RULES)
1. Be a decent human.
say hi. make friends.
2. no idea is too stupid.
all ideas that seem weird or ridiculous on the outside are our favourites. get curious! and let em cook and i feel like deep down you'll see something beautifully human
3. Be someone's hype human.
share an idea. offer your skills. make an introduction. follow their ig. tell someone their thing is cool.
support doesn't always have to be a grand gesture.
sometimes it's just showing up and giving a damn.
WHAT EVEN IS FIREPLACE?
good question. we're still discovering what we can become.
atm we're working towards a creative ecosystem for people to explore, experiment, and collaborate on ideas that make them feel alive.
we're particularly fond of the ideas that make people go, "But why would you do that?"
because sometimes the best answer is simply:
"I DON'T KNOW. I JUST REALLY WANT TO."
and we think that's a pretty wonderful place to start.
come find your people.
