February 2021: Duet, an intercontinental collaboration that makes connections

Posted: February 2nd, 2021 | Author: | Filed under: Events | No Comments »

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

Duet is a collaboration between Invisible Flock (UK) and Quicksand (India).

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. 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.

Duet is a work that seeks to challenge the ways in which we interact online. Duet is not social media, it is also not a game. Instead it operates in a different space – a slow, dreamy experiential space where you are invited to share small glimpses of life with someone new.

Quicksand

Quicksand is an interdisciplinary consultancy. We facilitate the creation of meaningful experiences through design research and innovation.

Babitha George, a partner in Quicksand, believes in the strength of interdisciplinary approaches; her prior work in education prompted her to actively think about non-traditional roles of design thinking, subsequently leading her to steer Quicksand’s social innovation projects. Babitha anchors Quicksand’s Bangalore studio and is also on the Advisory Board of the Victor Papanek Foundation.

Romit Raj is a software developer, researcher and systems architect. He has been developing and supporting technology projects for over a decade. At Quicksand, Romit leads several projects that have broad technology components. Recently, Romit has been working towards building Quicksand’s portfolio in the environment and conservation sectors.
