I was out tonight, spending some time on the streets of Bucharest, together with some friend.
We were on the Magheru Bulevard when we have noticed a weird display of some artwork. There’s a gallery somewhere between Univeristy Square and Romana Square. Some plastic curtons (I might say) were hanging from the ceiling and they were lighten on the floor by some colourfull neon lights.

Curiosity lead us in. We asked what those things meant. We were explained by the author that, on the floor, we will see a fingerprint. The artwork represents that the life of each individual is like a maze. The particularities of the individuals are characterized by the fingerprint. Nice idea, isn’t it?

On top of all this, the artist (it was a she) described some of the concepts behind and things she found out about life. One major thought involved the fact that some American phychologist (I think) thought at some moment What if I would study healthy people, unlike everyone else? How’s a normal human being?. The conclusions of this study were that people are a lot more different than animals. The comparison with animals is totaly wrong. The society we’re living in makes us compare ourselves with animals, instead of making us think positive and adopt a more relaxed perspective.

I believe I’m missing some ideas here, mainly because of my computer science oriented thinking. Anyway, listening to her ideas really made me think…

Writing this made me think wether somebody else thought about this or not. Here’s what Google revealed to me. Check the first few links. Interesting projects. Enjoy some deep self-reseach on the nature of the individual now…
