about the project

join us! make a wish

Close your eyes and make a wish. Write it down in the blank, below.
Please keep in mind:

1. Your wish must be within the realm of possibility. (No unicorns, no bringing people back from the dead. No nebulous "world peace," unless you think you can do something about it.)

2. Make the kind of wish you would normally make when the clock strikes 11:11 or when you blow out your birthday candles. The kind of wish that you take a moment to consider, because it's important to you and this is your chance to ask it of the world.

Note: All fields are required. And do not go back to the previous page through your browser. You will be able to edit your demographics upon completion of registration.

i wish .

When was the last time you made a wish? Was it yesterday, at 11:11 pm? Or maybe a month ago, when you were on the freeway and spotted a shooting star out of the corner of your eye. Or when someone pulled a lash from your cheek and you blew it away.

Maybe you never wish. Maybe your wishes change with the weather. Maybe you wish the same wish over and over and it’s etched into your being. It’s what you fear and hope for in a world that is bigger than us, and in so many ways out of our control.

wishproject.me explores our wishes: where they come from, how we pursue them, what they make us feel and whether or not they come true.

create an account so we can turn these wishes into data!

Contributing data won't hurt your anonymity. But it could help wishproject.me learn how wishes are born, what they have in common and how they affect our lives. While you work on making your wish come true (or kicking it to the curb), we'll transform all the info from the wishing well into something unexpected, fun and moving.

Begin creating your anonymous wish profile here. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*). However, we hope you'll answer everything. It makes the wish more poignant.
