6DEGREES


PRODUCT STORY
Each 6DEGREES postcard chain invites participation from six people. 





Write a note and pass it on in-person or through snail mail. Every recipient contributes a message, removes and keeps a postcard from the chain (now a one-of-a-kind souvenir layered with artwork and postage from its journey).

When the sixth person writes back to the first, 6DEGREES completes. Everyone along the chain receives an update. You are now all first-degree connections.



Anatomy of a 6DEGREES postcard chain passing through six people



Logging a postcard panel on 6DEGREES.US helps track each chain’s journey




Prototyping began in January 2025. 6DEGREES has since reached all seven continents (including Antarctica) with three attempts toward space. The pilot is live at 6DEGREES.US, with a real outdoor event where groups wrote postcards together at McCarren Parkhouse in Brooklyn, New York.

Every component was built by hand: hundreds of individually cut, folded, perforated, and assembled postcard sheets, with countless post office visits.
