A group of strangers wrote a collective biography together that was equally true for each and every individual member of the group. From the shared starting point of the meeting we searched for accidental correlations in our personal histories including coincidental moments (we’re all wearing yellow!), shared experiences (we’ve been to Mexico!), accidental correlations (we’re all sensitive to wool!), similarities in taste (we like the smell of books!) and so on. We tried to get as specific as possible. This is our collective biography. An art project by Lenka Clayton www.lenkaclayton.com. This workshop was led by Lenka Clayton and Amy Krouse Rosenthal at TEDactive conference in Whistler, Canada. Documented by the TEDactive team.

Group Bio
2015 - (ongoing)
A group of individuals together endeavor to write a short collective biography that is equally true for each and every individual member of the group.
Through conversation the group searches for accidental correlations in their own personal histories including coincidental moments (we’re all wearing yellow!), shared experiences (we’ve been to Mexico!), accidental correlations (we’re all sensitive to wool!), similarities in taste (we like the smell of books!) and so on.
