Cameron is starting with a group of super people a very cool project in NYC!!! Interview NEW YORK… Quoting…
Interview New York is an interactive public art project. The basic idea is to interview everyone in New York City (and expand to other cities if successful) with the same three questions.
1.What are you proud of? (A question that allows us to introduce ourselves)
2.What are you scared of? (This could take on a social aspect or just be interesting across different demographics)
3.And finally, what gives you hope?
(So the interview ends on an upbeat note!)
NorthforkThe interviews will be user generated videos (like youtube) except for the first thousand or so which we will do to seed the website. They will be tagged by geography (neighborhood) as well as whatever the poster decides to tag them with.
Though we won’t be launching until the summer we are shooting portraits for a book we will publish in conjunction with the website. So if you’re interested in being part of the book contact us and send us your interview video. We are looking for New Yorkers of all ages, genders, professions, and lives who have a voice they want heard. Email cameron@interviewnewyork.com.

I love this project… I thought you might like also the 50 people one question project which is exploring similar issue: http://fiftypeopleonequestion.com/
based on a simple premise: asking 1 question to 50 people in one place and filming their responses.
Here is the way the people from the project describe it:
” Once upon a time, we awoke with a new question on our mind. We didn’t quite know what the buzz and bustle of a Brooklyn afternoon would bring. In search of nothing more than some fresh answers, we found a few dreams instead.
It’s a simple question and the answers can lead us anywhere. So go ahead, ask yourself…”
cheers,
