Connection does not establish reciprocity. Permissions remain local to the session. Observer status confers no onward rights.
The people behind COMMON
Ten years ago, Mila and Liv helped make direct human connection ordinary. The question of what comes next is still a human one.
01 / Co-founder & systems architect
“Something this much a part of your life should still feel like yours.”
Mila helped abolish distance. Her work begins with a conviction: some forms of access should remain privileged, and a connected life should still leave room for privacy.
02 / Co-founder & first continuous participant
“We spent ten years making connection something you can enter. We’ve been thinking about what comes next.”
Liv built COMMON to abolish distance. Now she is preparing to become its first continuous participant: alive, embodied and herself.
Mila and Liv publicly abandoned their surnames years ago.
An early rejection of inherited status became part of COMMON’s story. Their work continues to ask what is chosen, what is shared, and what we inherit without asking.
