“36 Questions to Fall in Love” is a psychological questionnaire developed to explore how intimacy can be accelerated between two strangers. I solicited strangers to perform the questionnaire with me and then to perform a Chinese morning radio calisthenics routine together afterward. My grandma was involved in the invention of this exercise, which originated from a US insurance company trying to promote a healthy lifestyle to increase their profits in the 20s. This participatory experiment and speculative fiction challenges our notion of community and interpersonal relationships.
