We're in the exploratory phase of this new project.

We started exploring the idea of ‘joy’ because we liked the challenge of being held to a tone that was not cynical or ironic. We also think that its worth paying attention to something we are always trying to achieve but can never really describe. Working on an ephemeral idea from a clinical perspective allows us to build failure as well as success into the experience.

Hopefully the experience feels grounded in a familiar context (like giving blood or going through customs) and leads to an unexpected place. We hope through this familiarity to lay the groundwork for real explorations and meetings with strangers, and to let you be our guests and guides.
