The collection is now one year old. 1159 individual hairs were collected in the first year. Collecting will continue for a period of 7 years.
Aim 1: To collect in one hair from everyone in the world who wants to give a hair.
Aim 2a: All collected hairs will remain together for eternity.
Aim 2b: So that they can all meet eachother and enrichen their life-experience.
Aim 3: Not to be completely sure of how the project will develop.
Aim 4: That all administrative tasks will completely collapse.
