Eye Contact With Strangers Experiment
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- Where has the human connection gone in our big cities? In this public experiment we discover what happens when we intentionally share eye contact with strangers...We had no idea how quickly things would escalate!
Enjoy and share to inspire more experiences of connection in public.

I remember that one eyecontact i made with a stranger on the train, he was sitting infront of me , at first we were avoiding to look at each other cuz it was awkward then kinda both started gazing at each other's eyes for quite a long time and we ended up smiling, his eyes were so beautiful i felt like he was looking into my soul, when he reached his station he told me to take care even tho we didn't share any conversation. Everytime i remember that moment i start smiling its been more than a year since it happened and each time i wish i can meet him again
ITS ME i missed you so much!
@@gmp782 wait what
Hey, im the one who drove the train :) i loved to see you two make the connection!
I was the passenger. I witnessed everything.

Prolonged eye contact is very personal that's why people either feel closer to someone or like their personal space is invaded
Right! It is personal and i don't think it is an obligation.I think that it can make some people very ill at ease to have a prolonged eye contact ..it depends on the people.

Yeah it's not an obligation to keep eye contact with anybody but it definitely is relevant to how you are perceived. Prolonged eye contact makes you appear more confident and open, avoiding eye contact seems either offish or insecure. It's hard to establish a connection with someone without locking eyes. I noticed if I meet someone and the person is friendly,smiles and keeps eye contact it makes me feel more at ease with them but when someone is just staring with a neutral expression it makes me uncomfortable. The context is important.
This video and one another gave me almost conjunctivitis.Sorry but i don't see myself looking straight into the eyes of a stranger for a minute or more .It is a personal feeling too.I like to look at the people i love or appreciate but i don't stare at them more than 20 seconds..
+Frenchie séverine I get what you're saying. It's about reversing the process you're talking about though. Building and realising a connection by making eye contact rather than making eye contact with someone you already have a connection with.
Chrissi I think your missing the point... it’s about not having barriers to even invade. It’s about being Human and accepting yourself as you are :)
This video and other Liberators International videos have helped to change my life as I heal from a Traumatic brain injury. As a former US Marine I was taught to be rigid and strong. But this reminds me that Strength is from within and should be shared. Spreading humanity through love and smiles. It doesn't get more simple or beautiful. Thank you.
All the best with your recovery. It really is that simple.
+Joshua Lear Amazing story. And courageous of you to share this. Thank you. You have an inappropriate surname for the topic though :-P
Semper fi, brother. Could not have said it better.
There are no former Marines Joshua. You're a Marine for life and then you'll be tasked with guarding the streets of Heaven. Semper fi Marine
Thank you for your service and God bless you on your journey of healing.
No words have been said but wow this has me in tears.
Sitting here like a big baby crying. This is beautiful, meaningful and powerful.
Wow this is fucking beautiful.
I could imagine this becoming a worldwide trend in cities with all the connections we have lost due to covid
that was absolutely powerful and beautiful
yes
The most moving form of Art I have ever experienced. Thanks Liberators.
Why do I burst in tears when I watch this video ? I'm not sad ... I'm only human :)
Loving well intended eye contact with no judgement is true beauty
damn.. who's cutting onions in here?
Danny Chung made my day😂
Ucshly itsa ma mama.
Why does this make me cry?!
Because pure human connection is stronger than we realize
ong bro
i have anxiety and i did this aswell in my city. tears came down my eyes when the 5ith person came. it was my mother😢😢
shut up
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche you need a hug
well fuck
Bigfellr I have anxiety too I wish I'll have the courage to do it one day like you did ☺
Where have we gone? When even eye contact with another person excites us, we get more distracted every day and forget the beauty of life.
I always make my way back to this gem. Something about this is so moving🖤
Beautiful . Eyes are the gateway to one's soul .
we all gathered in Miami last night and what a great experience. so many people; so much love. renewed my faith
The power of eye contact! I was in tears watching this video
This gives me a bit of that "Despite everything, it's still you" feeling.
Smiling and tearing.... Love and gratitude
This should not be an experiment but a daily part of life! If I stare into your eyes, trust that I want to know you afterwards
I want one of these to come to my city....
Ask your friends to help you start one!
Veni Vidi Amavi check if there is one close to you on September 23rd 2017 :)
I couldn’t watch the whole thing without skipping as if they are looking in to my eyes...god this is so powerful. We don’t need words or actions all the time, just an eye contact is enough to feel serene,
Humanity is beautiful
Why is this hitting me emotionally? It's just eye contact for crying out loud. I guess it's much more than that.
I once fell in love with a girl who only just looked at me without saying a word. That's how powerful eye contact is.
This was interesting to see. For me it was making a point about people seldom never, well hardly ever looking at strangers in town and city centres. People are indeed way too caught up with their own egos and preoccupied with looking 'cool' by creating a vision of themselves having plenty else going on. It's sad that population centres come across as so unfriendly.
I can't agree more about what you wrote and realised I was like this as well.
Damn, seems we've all forget about our relatives, yet we need each other so much..
This is truly an insightful experience. Go on give it a go today. See what happens.
I did this in Copenhagen in 2015, and I have never forgotten
Absolutely beautiful .....without a doubt!!.......
Tolles Video. Das zeigt wie wichtig zwischen-menschliche Begegnungen sind. Sehr berührend.
I was touched just watching
In the future eye contact is how we communicate mostly. Vocal sounds are only used for extremes of pleasure or displeasure and for entertainment.
You can say a lot more without words.
I did similar to this when I was a kid it's called blinking contest. The one who blinks first will lose and the other person wins
You guys are incredible, amazing and perfect.
You inspired me to make my own video here in Malaga and it is my proudest work so far. Love you
+Ginicanbreathe share it with us?
+Ginicanbreathe
I hope you done that and I would enjoy to see it. Please share!
Beautifully moving, powerful stuff.... ! thank you x
This was just so beautiful and moving. I loved it.❤
Eye contact can power to trigger love and attraction. When two persons make eye contact release the hormone oxytocin it increases love and affection and they laugh each other with eye contact it also increase love and attraction.
What a simple yet powerful act
This makes my heart swell. No.. You are crying 😩
Essentially they are just looking at eyeballs but if you look at eyeballs that are out of their sockets the reaction is different so it has nothing to do with staring into someone's eyes but more of a social stigma as to what that certain action means to specific people. It's equally as awkward as holding a strangers hand.
Damn! You are some romantic...xD
In my whole life I have never seen something so heart warming
…gOLd… & essential in these challenging, socially distanced times…
Although we may not -currently-be able to share hugs, we can still share the L❤️VE
❤️🙏🏼❤️💞❤️🙏🏼❤️
Wow very beautiful!
The Eyes are the Lamps of the Body. ~The Bible
the eyes are the soul
I cried and felt very deep emotions to see that
Deeply moving. Well done.
Definitely the time to do this or at least in the next months. Reconnect!!! Great idea!!!
Truly awesome human connections are vital to us all
This actually made me cry! Love it!!
I wouldn't could make it without lip kissing! ^_^
Not even a minute in and I can already feel it
great channel, only stumbled across it today
Fantastisch!! So simpel...and yet so difficult for people.... 'I CONTACT"! Dorothy Staals
so beautiful! hey i wanna get a hug too :D...
thx for remembering the good sides of human
Magnifique, très émouvant ❤️❤️❤️
Oui, émouvant et tellement rare. J'aime ceux qui osent aller chercher l'humanité au fond de nous, réprimée à nous apprendre à ne pas la montrer et la partager. On a pourtant que ça, les relations humaines sont notre bien le plus précieux quand elles sont échangées dans le respect et la considération, sans elles rien ne sert à rien et n'est que la solitude.
This just makes one happy. Profound.
Powerful.
the woman has a mom face...she doesn't need to say a word to comfort you and you feel that everything is gonna be ok...
People are beautiful!
Really really great points, not to be missed. 🙏😎👍💜
beautiful video!
marina abramovic tribute ;)
Connection...beautiful. ❤️👀
Just amazing
Ich kann Ihnen leider nur auf Deutsch schreiben. Danke für Ihre Nachricht. Wir alle könnten so friedlich und einfühlsam gemeinsam leben. Herr Peter zeigt es uns so oft.
Amazing concept
Wow...in tears
This made me cry 😭
Hello my name is Melvin and there are a lot of people that I have to come friends with in other words confidence s for one reason we took one second to look in each other's eyes without saying a word I can't explain it I guess we are peculiar people
Amazing video with astounding sound by Tony Anderson :)
We connected deep with each others for spreading love ❤️ to the world 🌎
Beautiful x
Beautiful... no words needed.
Wow I couldn’t see the video because I had tears in my eyes
That was beautiful!
Meeting the souls. Probably the same ppl we were in heaven together along ago, or we may meet again there
We do this regularly in a holistic transformative system called Biodanza, accompanied with music and movement, in a more gentle and very progressive way, allowing both partners to be in feedback with each other. That way we learn to build self-confidence, joy, deepen love of ourselves and of others. May All Beings Be Peaceful.

Great, I wonder where it takes place.. The way you explain it shows sensivity, I wish you get pleasure and success, seems like you deserve it
It's all about confidence. I have none so I can't hold eye contact at all
Touching experiment
Damn. That made me emotional.
Wonderful! Love It!!
+Sandalphon9 - Love this, thanks for posting Sandalphon.
Yes, only the water separate us.
I didn´t cry watching this
+SouthCircinus I did, it got me.
+SouthCircinus I did :) :)
At the Pier Scheveningen, october 15th, 17-20 hrs.
Hope to meet/see you there ♡ ♥
This is nice, but my college professor did something similar and the girl I was put with was not wanting any of it. Kind of embarrassing.
Looks like she is insecure
I would like to see more of this..
Beautiful made me cry 😢
Love this ❤
They would see nothing but emptiness in my eyes. Plus I'd be cross-eyed just to mess with them. :)
Amazingly simple
Wow, amazing!
Hello from Zürich a Cool Experience my first time
It's beautiful, where was it?
Federica Gadea Perth, Western Australia :)
It only takes a minute to create sympathetic understanding?
NO or yes but it is very rare,a mystery of attraction..and you can see other things in the eyes of the person who looks a you than love..
i like this
MO KURD me too brother
Damn i need this!!
looking 4ward to the event in vienna :-)
i have a sudden urge to go talk to some strangers :)
Io cerco sempre un contatto con lo sguardo e mi viene di sorridere sempre a tutti ...anche dietro questa mascherina...solo con gli occhi....
They know they can blink right?
