About
The Human Response Project (thrp) is a simple, interactive app that aims to provide a human response to any given query.
We find ourselves surrounded by instantaneous, automated, and artificially enhanced interactions: thrp is the antidote. Thrp is slow moving, thoughtful and endlessly creative. Behind the interface is an evolving and ever-changing bank of human beings who are donating their time and energy to respond to whatever it is that you are asking. The response may not be the answer you were looking for (it may not be an answer at all), but it will be honest, creative and human-made.
Responses may take minutes, hours, days or longer. It's an exercise in patience and delayed gratification.
The intention is to provide a creative and artistic response to each query from one or more thrp "Responders". This could be in the form of a poem, sketch, photo, doodle, piece of music, video, spoken word or any manner of interpretation. It may also, simply, be an answer to your question.
Thrp is completely dependent upon the generosity of its Responders. We hope that it will be something that artists enjoy taking part in, for as much or as little as they like. It's an opportunity to put intentional art out into the world as a reflection of what's on people's minds.

The Human Response Project was conceived by Robin Vincent in May 2026 after a conversation about being ridiculously human in the face of AI. He is immensely grateful to everyone who has contributed and continues to support this project, particularly Pennache who has single-handedly realised the idea into a workable web app.
