Name The Time Hack
Location Washington DC
The Time Hack is an experiment aimed at exploring whether our perception of time is influenced by our actions. Research suggests our perception of time is partially dependent on the amount of new experiences we have during a given day. Journalist Matt Danzico is testing this theory by taking part in a new and unusual experience every day this year. After each experience, he documents his impressions and estimates the amount of time it took, then links to a video and a photo of a stopwatch with the actual duration.
So far Matt has fought a boxer, gone to Trapeze School, jumped from a moving car, walked a mile with 20 balloons, watched paint dry, learned Swahili, and recited the alphabet in a public place.

Name The Burning House
Location New York
If your house was burning, what would you take with you? The answer says a lot about your values and background, according to photographer Foster R. Huntington. The Burning House is a living gallery of photographs of the items chosen by people from all backgrounds, from all around the world. “It’s a philosophical conflict between what’s practical, valuable, and sentimental. You’re forced to prioritize and boil down a life of accrued possessions into what you can carry out with you,” Foster says.
