The wall art installation Humans of DAX is the second phase of the onboarding process. Residents who complete the DAX Social Contract are invited to commit to values and behavioural traits that resonate with them.
Residents will place their photographs on the installation and use yarn to connect words (e.g. Explore, Transform, Experiment) that reflect their commitment to work with the larger innovation community. Red yarn represents those who are still currently working at DAX, while grey represents those who have graduated, or left the innovation centre after completing their projects.
Apart from its aesthetic value, the installation allows DAX to track the more popular innovation values that are going to change behaviours.
To leave their mark at DAX, new residents are required to use their lifeline to select values that they resonate with on the Humans of DaxInstallation. They are officially recognised as DAXters only after intertwining their lifeline with that of fellow DAXters. The ritual is completed after they ink the polaroid and place it on the wall
