Vague Questions is an experimental interview series that documents the reactive mind and the connections our brain makes when presented with a question that has no specific topic.

At times, these questions may feel intimidating or uncomfortable.

Because of this, we have decided to remove the interviewer from the process, which will only leave the interviewee on set as they answer the questions. 


Interviews average around 1 hour from start to finish.


Before the interviewee is presented with the “Vague Questions” they will be provided a series of Rorschach/inkblot tests by Nick and Silas. This is to warm up and practice letting the brain make connections and to make the interviewee comfortable in a “familiar” situation. 


The interviewee is given a remote and can flip through the inkblots at their own pace. Once they click on the remote, the screen will go to the next slide/question. After the inkblots are resolved, Nick and Silas leave the room. Alone with the questions, It is up to the interviewee how long to spend on any particular answer. We asked that the interviewee try to attach their own meaning/story to the question, and be honest and open with their answers. Of course, if the question is of no interest to them, they are free to move on. 


Our goal is to find where our mind wanders.
