Duet - 2

Duet is a digital artwork about finding space for reflection, expression and connection in our daily lives, an intimate experience between strangers.

The app will pair you with an anonymous stranger somewhere in the world. Once a day you will be asked a simple question and you and your partner will share the answer. A simple gentle interaction in a shared space.

Duet is an app that pairs participating individuals and invites them to exchange details of their lives by answering a question a day, building new anonymous space and connections.

***Duet is a text only app , it is not a chat app or a social network, rather it is an ambient drift through other people's lives ***

Prompted by Duet, a participant gradually builds a picture of their partner and their surroundings through anonymous shared messages, while also finding a moment for reflection in their own lives and surroundings.

Take part for as long or little as you want, Duet is an ambient experience that briefly once a day gives you a small window into someone else's life.

Duet - Chapter 2, will run for 100 days and seeks to provide an intimate and reflective space through which we can all directly respond to this new world we find ourselves in.

Duet was first presented in 2017. In its first edition, the app was live for 368 days and connected over 1200 participants in India and in the UK, generating a 25000+ database of beautiful and eclectic answers. Each daily question was different and participants took part in varying ways, some connecting with a single partner for the entire year and some dipping in and out of the experience.
