“WHY” aims to establish a social infrastructure that deals with continuity to human characteristics in the face of future humanity.
Our goal is to create three public projects to start the community while demonstrating the idea of continuity and offering actions to realize it.
All our projects encourage civic involvement in the future of humanity and promote the message that there is no one concept of truth.
Continuity to the human story using a global campaign collects household dust samples from the world’s countries.
Continuity of skills related to interpersonal communication using a ‘Global tourist' visa agreement based on practice and not ideals.
Continuity to the sensory experience of the 100% organic human body, using personal sensory chambers that enable extreme experiences in a safe environment.
We invite you to join the "Dust Project,” a unique way to observe life in your home and leave a message for future generations in a family experience that broadens your horizons.
The project tells about our daily life through dust samples from the house. In this dust are fibers from our clothes, crumbs from the food we ate, fragments of hair, fur, and many other particles that tell a small story about who we are and where we live.
Why participate?The act of documentation invites us to observe the present. Our method enables experiential and surprising learning.
What is our mission?Dust and house are components that we all experience daily, regardless of religion, race, or era. The project is dedicated with love to students, teachers, and parents, emphasizing an experience of shared humanity.
How does it work?You will receive an envelope-sized dust collection kit at your address, , collect samples from the dust in your home, seal them yourself and that's it!
Your samples won’t be opened or analyzed but safely stored in time capsules as a historical document you are in.
Take part in a journey of discovery and surprise, and send your story to the future.
Participate in an activity that invites the whole family to stop momentarily, pay attention to what surrounds us, ask unexpected questions, and record your story as part of a broad social story. Registration entitles you to all project products.
Each family collects and seals four samples at home. Three return to the project for distribution in the time capsules, and one is kept with you in a personal capsule. The samples are linked in code and are a single source for future comparison.
Never before has humanity been documented using house dust samples. Your last name and residential address will be noted forever as part of a pioneering team and kept in the index of the time capsules.
Your coded sample in a time capsule sealed and preserved in a museum alongside an experiential exhibition and photos that you choose to upload to a digital archive.
Your coded sample in a personal capsule to pass on to the next generation until the time capsules are opened in a hundred years.
Your coded sample In a time capsule at the “Memory Of Mankind” archives along with other projects from around the world that save information about humanity,
An online community that gives surprising topics for conversation. Enrichment content, updates from the production, and exposure to projects from around the world
We invite educational and cultural institutions to participate in the project and offer it to students, teachers, and parents as a meaningful and horizon-expanding learning experience.
This year, the project successfully ran a pilot with high school students majoring in history, art, and biotechnology in public schools in Israel.
There are several ways to join and bring the project into your community—get in touch with us to learn more.
