Experience hosted by Fast Familiar
2021. The internet. An obstacle course of disinformation, trolls and depressing news stories. But what if it wasn’t?
Social Sandwich is a project about online encounters with strangers - and the potential for connection rather than conflict. Instead of doom-scrolling during your breakfast, talk to someone in another country, see the world from their perspective, and make sense of the world together.
Social Sandwich offers encounters with anonymous strangers at a time when our opportunities for physical travel are limited. It’s partly a playful glimpse into another person’s life and partly an experiment in collaborating with someone anonymous to determine the trustworthiness

Fast Familiar
Hosting immersive events on EI since July, 2020
Fast Familiar make artworks which are participatory, playful and political. We’re a group of artists from different backgrounds who design audience-centric experiences which often utilise ‘digital technology’. We’re fascinated by human psychology in a rapidly changing world. For us, art is a space to explore questions which are too complex for daily life. We think art can be experimental and ambitious without being elitist.
