An intimate experience between strangers Duet is an app that pairs participating individuals and invites them to exchange details of their lives by answering one question a day. Duet is a slow, dreamy experiential space where you are invited to share small glimpses of life with someone new. Prompted by Duet, participants gradually build 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 relaunched on 1 June 2020 during Covid and ran for 100 days. It was accessible to participate from anywhere across the world. This iteration of Duet sought to provide an intimate and reflective space through which we could all directly respond to this new world we found ourselves in.
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 presented as a light sculpture.
