Congruency by Jessica Chan (1.26.1992)

72 bpm

 blood must be pumped through the heart to keep a person alive

being alive is not the same as living

average size of a human heart: about the size of a fist

congruency: equal in size and shape//actions align with emotions

a square can be a rectangle, but a rectangle can never be a square

incongruency: outward actions differ from internal emotions

having to hold back creates a façade

 

it is not impossible to feel alone in a crowd

 A square among many rectangles

Hallelujah Chorus -Quinhagak, Alaska

This video, from the small Yupiq Eskimo Village of Quinhagak, Alaska , was a school computer project intended for the other Yupiq villages in the area. Much to the villagers' shock, close to one million people have viewed it. The idea might start with the "silent monk" video, but this one carries the creative idea into their own social and cultural context. It simply bring a smile to your face!
