Exploring
So more about the One Sentence Project - a little synopsis about it. Maybe more of a Frequently Asked Questions thing.
What is it?
A project that I have started, which asks you to describe yourself in one sentence. There are no specifications about how the sentence should be constructed, what exactly should be included within this sentence, etc. You can read what the survey asks here, or just go to the survey.
What will you do with the answers/results?
I plan to present them in an anonymous fashion - most likely in an installation of some sort. The exact way of presentation is still being played over in my mind, but I've had some ideas. The one quality that it has to have is that it has to be interactive with the viewers; so anyone who enters the piece's space must (if they decide to) interact with the project to get the reaction that I want.
Why?
It's an exploration of anonymity, of on-the-spot decision-making, into one's view of self and others, and of simplicity. There are many things one can look into, and of course it's not a scientific survey, so there are many un/non-controlled elements.
More questions and answers to come.

Examples of responses:
- "For the longest time, I thought everyone, deep down, wanted to change the world and had a conscience.
- "It has been a very long time since I've had a concept of home."
- "meine gedanken sind wilde vögel."
- "It's a miracle I'm alive."
- "Views everything in grey."
- "I exist."
- "I feel as if I'm living the movie "Weekend at Bernie's" from Bernie's perspective."
- "Ég er bahá'íi, ég elska Guð og menn og þrái aðeins að þjóna mannkyni."

Update 1
First off, for the survey go here.
So I have gotten a good amount of responses, but still need a lot more. I would like to get 1000, but that would take a lot of time. I am not sure how exactly I would advertise this project other than to friends and forums. If you have ideas, you can let me know (that would be great).
There have been some interesting responses so far to the survey; some of them are quite surprising and thought provoking.
Some nice ones include:
Anyway, I'll keep you updated and hope to get more responses. Next post will also include where I actually got the idea for the project.
Cheers
