New Viral Website For Fringe - There Is More

A new mysterious glowing yellow dot has appeared on Fox's Official Fringe website, down towards the bottom next to the BIOS section. Hovering over the yellow dot will open up the "wormhole" to a new video and viral site. I've hidden rest of this post if you'd like to check it out yourself first, then come back here and...

Hovering over the yellow dot play a small video montage with a voice over of William Bell:
“Is the incident contained?”
“Yes Dr. Bell.”
“How bad?”
“Bad!”
At the end of the video there is a hand holding a large coin. After the video plays, click the yellow area again, and a new site will open up - Fox.com/fringe/ThereIsMore.

There are eight sections to the site, each represented by braille code, which translates to numbers from the Fibonacci sequence - 144, 89, 55, 34, 21, 13, 8, & 5. Clicking on each of the numbers displays different Fringe symbols: Embryo Apple, Delta Leaf, Six-fingered Hand, Phi Frog, Wing Daisy, Golden-Spiral Seahorse, Bones Butterfly, and Phi Sheep Horn.

The only glyph that is currently active is the Apple, which will display the golden spirals when you hover over it, and if you click it, it will displays a Walking Liberty Half Dollar coin (and the braille for "return"). Clicking the coin plays a quote from Nicholas Boone (seen in Midnight) saying: "How Far Would You Go?"

One other fun thing to look at is when you click on 89 (braille #2), listen very closely and you can hear a strange voice. The voice, if played backwards says "Expand Your Consciousness"

You can hear the original and reversed sound below.

Original:


Reversed:



BTW, for those that haven't been here from the beginning, the site is a rehash of the original Fringe viral site initially at ImagineTheImpossibilities.com (which currently holds the CASE 0091 website) In fact, digging through the flash files reveals a bunch of legacy stuff from the old site, e.g. the old Fringe viral radio ads. I suspect they will replace all the old content as they activate each new glyph in the coming days...


* Thanks to Scully and Daniel for emailing about this!

  3. Sorry for the second post. I went right to the site without reading your brief. Hmm this is definitely going viral. The question is what is the "incident"?

  4. That's the same video of Olivia that Walter put into the VCR 2 or 3 episodes ago (at the very end of the episode), correct?

  5. The only difference that I can see between the coin on the site and an actual "walking liberty" is that there is no date at the bottom. Maybe it's significant, or maybe they just took it off so no one would think that the date was significant,who knows?

  7. Maybe they don't put dates on coins where that came from...

    Glad to see that my discovery of that reversed audio file from the original ITI site was not in vain. Who knows, maybe that little audio clue will have more in play, now that it is on the new site as well.

  9. Could you do a comparison of the coin on the viral site and the one shown last night from the beach house? I suspect we might see similarities.

  10. The coin, the text says:
    "How far - would you go - for someone you love"

  11. Here's the braille translations, though not decoded:

    Sequence Letters
    1 A D D
    2 H I
    3 E E
    4 C D
    5 B A
    6 A C
    7 H
    8 E

    Gonna try to decode the letters...

  12. Marcello, the binary also translates to numbers, in this case the Fibonacci sequence: 144, 89, 55, 34, 21, 13, 8, & 5

  13. The leaf/delta glyph is now up with a segment on Dr. Bell!
