Epics


Epics are a special class of experiments with a unique flavor. They are the most ambitious in the life arts collection and in many cases involve commitment over multiple days, months, or years. Some epics were selected for their scale and others for the depth of the experience. The throughline is transformative moments and activating profound encounters with the world.


The Dust Route: Circumnavigating Collapsed Civilizations

Plot a route around the world that touches only sites of dead civilizations. Not museums or tourist destinations—the actual bones of places: Angkor Wat, Petra, Timbuktu, Cahokia, Göbekli Tepe, Mohenjo-daro, the ruins of Great Zimbabwe. One continent at a time. The constraint isn’t comfort or efficiency; it’s that you only sleep, eat, and move within…Read more The Dust Route: Circumnavigating Collapsed Civilizations

The Eternal Sunset Chase

The Earth rotates at roughly 1,000 miles per hour at the equator. Sunset moves across the planet like a wave. Your challenge: chase it. Start at a western point—say, the coast of Portugal. Watch the sun set. Then immediately board a westbound flight. Land before sunset in your new location. Watch it set again. Repeat.…Read more The Eternal Sunset Chase

The Cinematic Ridge Walk Tradition

Choose a ridge. Not the most famous one or the hardest—just one that makes you feel something. A ridge with a view that stops your breath, where the trail follows the spine of the mountain and the world drops away on both sides. Mark it on your calendar. This is your ridge now. You’ll walk…Read more The Cinematic Ridge Walk Tradition

The Stairway to Heaven

Between you and your partner, plan a seven day week just for the two of you with one goal in mind: make each day better than the day before it. Treat your week like a staircase ascending each day towards greater heights of adventure and shared fulfillment. Think of the activities together that will produce…Read more The Stairway to Heaven

A Day in the Life, A Year at a Time

Pick one day. Any day—your birthday, the first day of spring, an anniversary, or just a random Tuesday in October. Mark it on your calendar. This is the day you’ll record every year for the rest of your life. Wake up with your phone or camera ready. Film everything ordinary: brushing your teeth, making coffee,…Read more A Day in the Life, A Year at a Time

The Global Witness: Five Continents One Shared Day

Scatter five friends across five continents—Tokyo, Nairobi, Berlin, São Paulo, Los Angeles—and spend one month experiencing the planet as a single rotating consciousness. Each day at the same universal time (say, 12:00 UTC), the entire group stops whatever they’re doing and attunes to one person’s current moment. The designated witness opens a video call or…Read more The Global Witness: Five Continents One Shared Day

The Dream Archive

Tomorrow morning, before coffee, before checking your phone, open your laptop. Describe last night’s dream to an AI image generator—every detail you remember. The blue kitchen. The stranger with your mother’s voice. The staircase that kept adding floors. Be specific. Be literal. Hit generate. Within three minutes, you’re watching a video of your dream. It’s…Read more The Dream Archive

The Dream Chamber

For dreamers, this next experiment is the holy of all holies. It starts by creating a space in your home that you call your dream chamber. Decorate it however you wish, but save space on the wall for projected imagery. Prepare two projectors in the room, one for a larger wall and the second for…Read more The Dream Chamber

The Relay of Life and Death

Plan a continuous journey to witness a series of weddings and funerals across cultures over two weeks, alternating between celebration and grief as you circle the planet. Begin with a Shinto wedding in Kyoto—the bride in white shiromuku, sake cups exchanged three times, purification through ritual. A few days later, attune to a jazz funeral…Read more The Relay of Life and Death

The Slow Revolt

Choose the most efficiency-obsessed space you can find: an airport terminal, a subway platform during rush hour, a corporate lobby. Somewhere everyone’s moving fast, heads down, optimized for throughput. Now do the opposite. Move slowly. Absurdly slowly. Not blocking anyone—step aside when people need to pass—but moving through the space like you have all the…Read more The Slow Revolt

Love’s Endless Terrain: Harmony Across Landscapes

You’re going to spend ten days with your partner traveling through California with a drone operator, and you’re going to choreograph yourselves being filmed from above in five different landscapes, and you’re going to learn that love looks different when you see it from the sky—not smaller, but mythic, a pattern that persists across all…Read more Love’s Endless Terrain: Harmony Across Landscapes

Awe Seeker: Dissolving Before Earth’s Magnificence

Spend eight to ten weeks traveling alone to places where nature’s power renders human concerns absurd. This isn’t sightseeing—it’s ego dissolution through geological time, evolutionary vastness, and forces that dwarf civilization itself. You’re seeking moments when the earth reminds you how small you are, how brief, how magnificently insignificant. Begin in Patagonia. Trek alone to…Read more Awe Seeker: Dissolving Before Earth’s Magnificence

The Wonder Curator

You’re going to rent a cottage in Big Sur for ten days with your partner, and each of you will arrive with five boxes you’ve secretly prepared for the other. Before you arrive, you spend weeks curating. Five boxes, five dimensions of your relationship, five expressions to deepen your love together. You put your heart…Read more The Wonder Curator

The Show Your Place Tour

Gather three to five close friends. Commit to traveling together. Establish one rule: each person chooses ONE place they love—not a tourist destination, but their place. The neighborhood they discovered at 3 AM. The museum they’ve visited twelve times. The trail where they figured something out. They design a full day there for the group.…Read more The Show Your Place Tour

The Threshold Alchemist

You’re going to rent a stone house in Iceland for twelve days—a place with six doors, each one engineered to wake a different capacity sleeping in your body—and you’re going to learn that wholeness isn’t balance, it’s the wild fluidity of accessing every energy you’ve ever suppressed, every trait you’ve been taught to moderate, every…Read more The Threshold Alchemist

The Sonic Pilgrimage

Gather four to six friends for an eight-week acoustic pilgrimage across landscapes, learning to hear what you’ve been deaf to. Bring recording equipment, instruments, and open ears. Each destination, you’ll spend days recording the soundscape—wind, water, birds, insects, stones, ice—then compose collaborative sound art that captures the voice of that place. This isn’t field recording…Read more The Sonic Pilgrimage

The Distributed Consciousness

Take five friends to a large city—Tokyo, Istanbul, Mexico City, Mumbai—and spend two weeks traveling as a distributed consciousness. Each morning, you separate and explore different neighborhoods, but you remain connected through a shared communication system: every hour, on the hour, you send each other a single word describing where you are or what you’re…Read more The Distributed Consciousness

The Moonlit Poets

Gather three to six friends and travel to five coastal destinations over three weeks—Patagonia’s wild shores, the Aegean’s white cliffs, Bali’s black sand beaches, Iceland’s volcanic coasts, New Zealand’s luminous bays. Spend each day exploring freely: swimming, hiking coastal paths, wandering fishing villages, discovering hidden coves. But as dusk approaches, make your way to a…Read more The Moonlit Poets

The Makeover of Eternity: Wearing Time on Your Skin

You’re going to spend one day in a glass-walled loft in Lisbon, Portugal and six of your closest friends are going to adorn you with the most beautiful forms of self-beautification humans have ever invented, and by the end you’re going to understand that every time someone has ever painted their face or pierced their…Read more The Makeover of Eternity: Wearing Time on Your Skin

The Living Canvas

Gather four to six friends and travel to five destinations over two to three weeks—Bali’s jungle studios, Santorini’s white-walled rooms, Morocco’s rooftop terraces, Iceland’s glass houses, Japan’s traditional tatami spaces. Each evening, rent a studio—indoor or outdoor, simple or sublime. Set up a circle with one comfortable chair in the center. Light candles. Play quiet,…Read more The Living Canvas

The Star Weavers

Gather four to six friends and spend four months traveling to International Dark Sky Reserves—the last places on Earth where you can see the Milky Way clearly—to create a single, impossible artwork: a constellation map stitched from light, photography, and your own bodies positioned under stars. This is astronomy as collaboration, darkness as canvas, your…Read more The Star Weavers

Digital Legacies

For centuries people have strived for immortality. We’ve searched for the right alchemy or biohacks to try to extend our physical being and many of us have pursued modest ways to build a legacy for our children. While this journey has inspired some of the great works of art and spirituality, the preservation of a…Read more Digital Legacies

The Visioning: Breakfast with Your Future Selves

The future selves experiment takes the art of digital cloning to a whole new level. After you have built your ultimate digital avatar, work with AI to create new avatar versions of your future self. Create an avatar that represents you five years from now, ten years from now, twenty years, and later. Create multiple…Read more The Visioning: Breakfast with Your Future Selves

Light Years: Your Companion Self on a Distant Planet

Train an AI on everything that makes you essentially you—not just behavioral data but your actual consciousness: your voice speaking about what matters, your values under pressure, the questions you return to at 3 AM, what breaks your heart, what you’d die protecting. Then give this AI-self a different life entirely. Place them on a…Read more Light Years: Your Companion Self on a Distant Planet

The Crowd Goes Wild

Download stadium crowd noise—the real stuff. Roaring thousands, rhythmic clapping, that moment when 50,000 people lose their minds together. Get a portable Bluetooth speaker—loud enough to fill a street corner. Grab your guitar or keyboard or whatever instrument you can carry. Find a busy sidewalk where people are just trying to get through their day.…Read more The Crowd Goes Wild

The Investigator

In order to get an objective view of yourself it often requires an outside perspective. To follow through on the challenges you aspire to, it helps to have a partner in crime — someone to give you the added motivation to carry out the projects you set out to do. How well would we know…Read more The Investigator

A Jazz European Summer

You’re going to spend an entire summer—ten weeks minimum—following jazz across Europe like a pilgrim follows sacred sites. Not as a tourist sampling culture, but as someone letting music dismantle them piece by piece until what remains is just rhythm and breath and the space between notes. You’ll travel from festival to festival, city to…Read more A Jazz European Summer

The Love Shock Odyssey

Most people search for love within a fifty-mile radius of where they were born, dating variations of the same cultural archetype until one variation feels close enough to forever. This experiment explodes that geography: spend one year traveling through eight countries on different continents, staying in each place long enough to actually date—not tourist flirtations…Read more The Love Shock Odyssey

The Devotion Monastery

Gather a group of friends—people you trust—and retreat together for a week to a place removed from ordinary time. A cabin in the mountains, a house by the sea, anywhere you can create a temporary monastery devoted to a single practice: the rotating concentration of complete care and devotion to one person at a time.…Read more The Devotion Monastery

The Inheritance Letter

Somewhere in the future, someone exists who shares your DNA but will never know you. Your great-great-grandchild. Your great-great-great-grandchild. Someone who will be born long after you’re dead, who will carry some fragment of you in their cells but will have no memory of you, no stories about you, no connection to you except blood.…Read more The Inheritance Letter

The Doorkeeper: A Month of Multiplicity

You’re going to rent a house in Edinburgh for a month—a place with six exterior doors, each leading to a different part of the city—and you’re going to learn that you’ve never had one self, that authenticity isn’t consistency, and that the most honest thing you can do is consciously choose who you become each…Read more The Doorkeeper: A Month of Multiplicity

Sense Awakening: Mapping Ectasy Across Geography

Design a five-week journey with your partner where each week is devoted to awakening one sense to its absolute edge. Week one (taste): a culinary pilgrimage through Thailand eating everything—insects, durian, fermented fish, street food that burns and delights. Week two (touch): learning traditional massage in Bali, then practicing on each other for hours daily,…Read more Sense Awakening: Mapping Ectasy Across Geography

Echoes Across Borders: The Global Rewind

Design one perfect day—a specific routine with exact timing. 7am: coffee at a café. 9am: visit a park. 11am: browse a bookstore. 1pm: lunch at a local spot. 3pm: walk through a residential neighborhood. 6pm: find live music. 9pm: late dinner. Then repeat this exact same day in seven different cities over seven weeks. Same…Read more Echoes Across Borders: The Global Rewind

The Rainmaker

Imagine a garden that you could water with music that would turn the chore of watering plants into a more imaginative event. The rainmaker places a piano at the center of any beautiful garden and makes it a tool for coaxing plants into growth. In your garden with a piano stationed at its core, install…Read more The Rainmaker

The Temporal Translation

Train AI on everything that makes you specifically you—how you make decisions under pressure, what makes you laugh, your values in action, the way you care for people, what you notice, what you ignore, your vulnerabilities and your stubborn loyalties. Feed it your complete behavioral signature. Then ask it to generate autonomous versions of yourself…Read more The Temporal Translation

The Joy Rupture: Fly By Parades in Somber Spaces

Identify a utilitarian space that processes hundreds of people daily in states of anxiety and numbness: a hospital waiting room, a DMV office, a transit hub during the morning commute. As a coordinated group of 10-12 people, plan a precisely-timed drive by parade lasting exactly seven minutes. At the designated moment, you flood the space…Read more The Joy Rupture: Fly By Parades in Somber Spaces

On the Road Together: An Eternal Conversation

When you have a conversation that feels like it could last forever, why not make it so? This experiment uses the beautiful power of AI and crystalizes the love language of two people by capturing a conversation that, if done right, can live on forever. Here’s how it works: Take a road trip with your…Read more On the Road Together: An Eternal Conversation

The Family Grove

A project for a dedicated person who wants to bring their family tree to life. Choose a plot of land you can use for a multigenerational project–a family property or a community forest that welcomes stewardship. Next, plant a grove of trees with your family that will be created and cared for, for generations. Start…Read more The Family Grove

Anchored in The Stars: Radiant Moments in Constellation

Mapping out your own constellations is the essence of meaning making. While years of science and dedication went into the mapping of the stars, creating your own maps has its own beauty to it. This experiment takes meaning mapping and pairs it with life’s great moments.  With the start of each new year, think back…Read more Anchored in The Stars: Radiant Moments in Constellation

The Dream Wave: Building a Collective Unconcious

Gather five friends spanning five cities across the globe—Taipei, Dubai, Paris, New York, Los Angeles—one person in each city, positioned so that you’re spread across the world’s time zones. The experiment runs for one month with a single rule: you must sleep and dream in perfect relay. When one person goes to sleep, they send…Read more The Dream Wave: Building a Collective Unconcious

Dream Synth: The Biometric Awakening

Get a sleep tracker that monitors everything: heart rate variability, REM cycles, body temperature fluctuations, movement patterns, breathing depth and rhythm. Connect it to an AI music composer trained on biometric data and generative synthesis. Set the system to compose overnight—while you sleep, the AI translates your body’s performance into a unique synth musical composition…Read more Dream Synth: The Biometric Awakening

The World Stage

Choose one week to become cosmologically illiterate. Deliberately forget everything you’ve been taught about how the universe works—no gravity, no nuclear fusion, no evolutionary biology, no quantum mechanics. You’re wiping the lens completely clean, not to reject science but to remember what it felt like before someone else’s explanations colonized your capacity for wonder. Start…Read more The World Stage

The Festival Circuit: Encountering the World’s Sacred Chaos

Book six flights. Clear six months. Here’s the rule: you each choose three festivals as secret destinations with your partner. They don’t know which three are yours. You don’t know which three are theirs. You only know you’re going to six festivals together scattered across the world. Start in Lopburi, Thailand, at the Monkey Buffet…Read more The Festival Circuit: Encountering the World’s Sacred Chaos

The Secret Inheritance

You spend thirty years building something no one knows about. A warehouse across town, paid for quietly, visited on weekends when you say you’re running errands. Inside: six locked studio rooms, each containing a different layer of how you loved your children, how you saw the world, how you stayed awake to being alive. You…Read more The Secret Inheritance

The Presence Retreat: Retuning Without the Noise

You’ve been moving too fast for years—scrolling, working, planning, consuming, optimizing every moment for productivity or entertainment. You’ve forgotten how to just be with each other without an agenda. This experiment strips away everything that lets you hide from presence. Rent a small house in one place for thirty days—a village in rural Portugal, a…Read more The Presence Retreat: Retuning Without the Noise

Global Renewals: Sacred Vows Across Geography

Every three years, choose a new place on earth where you and your spouse can marry each other again. Not a vow renewal in the Western sense—no repetition of your original ceremony, no nostalgic recreation of what you already did. Instead, research the sacred marriage traditions of wherever you’ve chosen: a Shinto shrine ceremony in…Read more Global Renewals: Sacred Vows Across Geography

The Twilight of the Idols

Gather a group of friends. Tell them you have a new experiment designed to make gods of ordinary people. You’re not studying mythology—you’re inventing it. You’re not borrowing gods from dead religions—you’re becoming the deities you imagine you could be. Spend the first two hours alone. No talking, no collaboration. Each person sits with a…Read more The Twilight of the Idols

Jazz Nostalgia: The Monochrome Dance Party Theater

Transform a large room into a living black-and-white film from jazz’s golden age. Project large-scale authentic recordings—Lester Young, Duke Ellington, Harry Edison—onto one wall. Fill the space with period furniture: velvet chairs, art deco lamps, vintage ashtrays all in a monochrome black and white shade. Install white stage lights and space for people to absorb…Read more Jazz Nostalgia: The Monochrome Dance Party Theater

The Blind Leading the Blind

Gather 4-8 friends and make a pact: every year, each person gets sent somewhere by someone else in the group—and they have no idea where until they’re at the airport. Here’s how it works: Each year, everyone draws a name. You’re now responsible for choosing a destination for that person and booking everything—flights, a hotel,…Read more The Blind Leading the Blind

The Virtual Friends Gallery

Gather 4-5 close friends who agree to broadcast their lives to each other around the clock. Each person mounts cameras throughout their own home—bedroom, kitchen, workspace, living room. They broadcast the events of their day continuously and each person has their own visual gallery of each other mounted on the wall at home with live…Read more The Virtual Friends Gallery

The Seed Planter

Spend six to twelve months traveling the world with a single sacred purpose: distribute your favorite life experiments to strangers, planting seeds of transformation in soil you’ll never see bloom. Carry beautifully printed copies—some laminated for weather, others on handmade paper—and become a secret architect of other people’s awakenings. The practice has two forms: overt…Read more The Seed Planter

The Keepers of the Keys

Scattered across the world—in converted warehouses in Berlin, hidden studios in Kyoto, unmarked buildings in Buenos Aires—develop a network of artists and consciousness architects who dedicate their lives to a singular pursuit: creating rooms that remake human beings. Not galleries or installations meant to be observed. Immersive environments engineered with surgical precision to trigger specific…Read more The Keepers of the Keys

The Beautiful Temporary: An International Revolving Door

Gather six people for a month-long journey anywhere in the world—hiking, traveling, living together in close quarters. Every 72 hours, two people leave and two new strangers arrive with zero idea about what’s happened before. No briefing. No continuity. Just arrival into an already-formed group mid-conversation. Sometimes it’s chaos. Sometimes it’s just what the group…Read more The Beautiful Temporary: An International Revolving Door

Seeds of Memory: A Garden of Devotion

Gardens don’t lie. They show you exactly what you’ve nurtured and what you’ve neglected, what thrives under your care and what withers despite your best intentions. A relationship is no different. The Garden of Devotion is a garden you plant together with your partner, one year at a time, where every flower and tree represents…Read more Seeds of Memory: A Garden of Devotion

The Party Tower

The party tower concept is an ambitious party idea that transforms a multi-story building into an experience like no other. With the help of a large group of artists and party throwing friends, put teams in charge of creating each floor of an old building with a unique theme. Working together, create a multilayered party…Read more The Party Tower

The Ghost Protocol

Begin recording three-minute videos of your life once daily. No curation, no performance—just you, recording your surroundings, or speaking to the camera about whatever’s present. What you see, what you’re feeling, what happened, what you’re afraid of, what made you laugh. Build the archive for thirty days without looking back. Month two, work with an…Read more The Ghost Protocol

Echo Inheritance: The Ghost Protocol Across Generations

Your father began recording when you were three years old. Everyday of his adult life for twenty-seven years—three-minute clips of his ordinary life. You grew up watching him take videos of the world around him or speak quietly to his phone in the kitchen, documenting thoughts you were too young to understand. The practice was…Read more Echo Inheritance: The Ghost Protocol Across Generations

The Festival of Mistaken Identity

Gather 40-60 people for a three-day festival with one rule: you must arrive as someone you’re not. Not a costume—a personality. You get a name tag with a false name and nothing else. No backstory required, no explanation needed. You’re allowed to be completely wrong about who you are. The permission structure is everything. Because…Read more The Festival of Mistaken Identity

The Gallery of Universes

Gather five to eight friends who still remember what it felt like to build worlds in their heads as children. Give yourselves three weeks. Each person designs one complete universe where physics is a polite suggestion you’ve chosen to ignore. Maybe gravity works sideways. Maybe time runs in spirals. Maybe consciousness is a liquid you…Read more The Gallery of Universes

Dinner Mates Across Time

Imagine yourself building AI companions based on the great figures of history and throwing a dinner party with them every week. Think of the great minds or personal heroes that have inspired you. Gather all the material, life works, biographies, and archives you can find to tell the story of the person. Then using the…Read more Dinner Mates Across Time

Universal Longing: A Pilgrimage of Integration

Spend six to twelve months traveling the world not as a tourist but as a pilgrim, seeking to understand how humans across cultures reach toward meaning. This is not about collecting religious sites like stamps in a passport—it’s about temporarily becoming part of communities bound by faith or conviction, learning what it means to seek…Read more Universal Longing: A Pilgrimage of Integration

Lineage Cartography: Mapping Happiness Across Generations

Geography holds memory. Certain places carry the frequency of great meaning and there’s no better way to communicate the specialness of places and moments than to document them and pass them down to the people you love. This next experiment invites a person to create a family heirloom like no other. A journal that maps…Read more Lineage Cartography: Mapping Happiness Across Generations

The Ancestral Return: A Pilgrimage for Generations

Most people experience their lives linearly, trapped in the present moment. This experiment creates a vertical experience of time—you witness yourself aging in ten-year leaps while simultaneously inheriting the aging of those who came before you. You see your grandmother at thirty, forty, and fifty. Then you see yourself at those same ages, in the…Read more The Ancestral Return: A Pilgrimage for Generations

The Chamber of Recognition

Being truly seen is rarer than being loved. Most people spend their lives performing for audiences who aren’t really watching, speaking truths to rooms that aren’t really listening. This experiment creates the conditions for radical recognition—a space where strangers witness your unfiltered self and choose you not despite your truth, but because of it. Enter…Read more The Chamber of Recognition

The Matchmaker

You create encounters between strangers that conventional dating would never produce. You build a meeting space, a simple architecture with artistic wonder and intimacy. Two hundred people submit questionnaires online to be matched with another person—not preferences, but truths: What makes you feel most alive? What vulnerability have you never spoken aloud? What kind of…Read more The Matchmaker

Lost Together: A Mutual Surrender

Intimacy deepens not when you know where you’re going, but when you admit you’re both equally lost and choose to stay that way. This experiment asks you to abandon control entirely—to travel somewhere so remote and foreign that navigation becomes impossible, and for one full week, let disorientation become your shared language. Choose a place…Read more Lost Together: A Mutual Surrender

The Vik Protocol: Hunting for Strangers in Waning Hours

Fate works differently when daylight becomes scarce. In Vík, Iceland, during the season of extreme darkness, the sun rises for barely four hours before surrendering to night again. This experiment asks you to spend a month in that liminal space, hunting for strangers in brief windows of light, then learning who they are across long…Read more The Vik Protocol: Hunting for Strangers in Waning Hours

New Years, New Flames: A Path of Perpetual Discovery

The body is a library, and every lover is a different language. This experiment asks you to become fluent in many tongues—to seek out a new lover each year of your adult life, not as conquest but as enlightenment. Some will stay. Some will return years later. Some will teach you everything in three months…Read more New Years, New Flames: A Path of Perpetual Discovery

The Whistle Calls: A Forest of Transformation

Navigation becomes meditation when you surrender the map. Enter a forest where six outposts exist as invisible destinations, each one calling to you through a unique whistle tone that sounds only once per hour. You don’t choose your path—you listen for it. The whistles guide you, but so do the other journeyers moving through the…Read more The Whistle Calls: A Forest of Transformation

Touring Immortality: Humanity’s Undying Obsession

Humans have been scheming to live forever since we first realized we wouldn’t. This experiment is your chance to try every method—ancient and modern, sacred and absurd—in one glorious, globe-trotting adventure. You’re not looking for actual immortality (spoiler: you won’t find it). You’re celebrating the audacious creativity of a species that refuses to accept the…Read more Touring Immortality: Humanity’s Undying Obsession

The Convergence Spiral: Bold Paths Leading to Each Other

Separation sharpens reunion. Choose four friends and select a destination none of you have visited—Petra, Patagonia, the Scottish Highlands, the temples of Angkor Wat. You’ll all arrive on the same day, but you cannot travel together. Each person must take a different route, and each route must include three mandatory stops chosen by the group…Read more The Convergence Spiral: Bold Paths Leading to Each Other

Plumbing the Depths: Chaining a Place into Richness

Experience is embodied, and bodies can teach each other. Gather six friends and travel to a place known for extreme sensory immersion—the salt flats of Bolivia, the souks of Fez, the hot springs of Iceland, the night markets of Taiwan. You’ll spend ten days there, but you won’t experience it together. You’ll experience it in…Read more Plumbing the Depths: Chaining a Place into Richness

The Drive: A Chronicle of Every Path Traveled

Roads remember what we forget. Every highway you’ve driven, every dirt path you’ve walked, every street corner where you stopped to catch your breath—they exist somewhere in your archive, waiting to be stitched back together. This experiment asks you to gather those fragments and let an AI reconstruct the journey of your life as one…Read more The Drive: A Chronicle of Every Path Traveled

The Dream Harvest

The subconscious speaks loudest when we’re not listening. Gather six friends for a two-week experiment in a remote house—a cabin in the Pyrenees, a villa in Crete, a farmhouse in rural Japan. Each night, one person sleeps in the center of the main room while the others sleep in surrounding spaces. The center sleeper is…Read more The Dream Harvest

The Memory Well: The City of Augmented Memories

Places hold us sometimes long after we leave. Choose one city—somewhere that matters, somewhere you can return to every five years for the rest of your life. Kyoto, Florence, Buenos Aires, wherever calls to you. On your first visit, walk the streets with AR glasses and spatial video recording enabled. Record your spatial experience at…Read more The Memory Well: The City of Augmented Memories

The Prism Expedition: Five Journeys One Path

There is no single way to see a city. This experiment proves it. Five travelers travel through the same destinations from Reykjavik to Istanbul across five cities, spending five days in each, but experiencing entirely different worlds. Each person travels with a radical lens—a bend in focus that determines what they see, where they go,…Read more The Prism Expedition: Five Journeys One Path

Four Weeks, Four Seasons

Most people experience seasons passively—something that happens while they’re distracted by obligations. But what if you didn’t wait? What if you chased all four seasons in a single month, crossing hemispheres and climates to live an entire year compressed into twenty-eight days? This experiment turns one four week marathon into an experience across four seasons.…Read more Four Weeks, Four Seasons

The Wisdom of Strangers

We travel to see new places, but the deepest journeys happen when strangers decide to show us their worlds. Mastery isn’t just skill—it’s a way of seeing that takes years to develop, and when someone shares that vision with you, even briefly, you’re changed. This experiment is simple: fifteen days, five cities, five strangers who’ve…Read more The Wisdom of Strangers

The Pilgrimage of Collective Memory

Memory doesn’t belong to one person. It accumulates in places like sediment, layer upon layer, until a street corner holds a thousand moments that happened in the same square meter of earth. This experiment makes that visible. The original traveler begins in Lisbon, wearing AR glasses that record spatial memories—geolocated moments tagged to exact coordinates.…Read more The Pilgrimage of Collective Memory

Certain Transience: Cycles of Fate Not Lasting

Most relationships end without warning or they fade so slowly you can’t name the moment they died. But what happens when you know exactly when someone leaves your life? When the clock doesn’t lie, doesn’t negotiate, doesn’t offer extensions? In Greenwich, London—where time itself is measured—you spend ten days learning the answer. The experiment is…Read more Certain Transience: Cycles of Fate Not Lasting

Luminous Loss: A Cathedral of Mourning

Grief is not meant to be private. It’s too large, too sacred, too human to be contained in one body. When someone you love dies, the world loses them too—and the world deserves to witness what they meant. In a large cathedral, you commission a light installation that runs every night for one week to…Read more Luminous Loss: A Cathedral of Mourning
