ALTRUISM...the return of Values & Ethics.

I was commenting today about the importance of humanism in contemporary times. I wish human being became more altruist, compassionate and ethical. The following video projects in the best way that KINDNESS keeps the world afloat. Kindness returns as a boomerang - do good and you will receive it, for sure. So, n*joy the video and keep your life vest INSIDE you ;)

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL ''Making the Invisible VISIBLE'' campaign.

German street art collective Mentalgassi have collaborated with Brothers and Sisters creative team Lisa Jelliffe and Kirsten Rutherford to create a series of unique art installations for Amnesty International.

“Making the invisible visible” uses lenticular fence posters. The art installation depicts a close up of six well-known individuals who have suffered unfortunate abuse regarding human rights acts. The victims' faces become only visible to those approaching the fence. Front on, the images become invisible. A plaque on each site alerts passers-by to an Amnesty website (www.amnesty.org.uk/fence) where they can sign a petition calling for justice for the victims.

“Mentalgassi’s images are unexpected, arresting and emotive. Their surprising use of faces on fence railings reminded us of prison bars which seemed like a unique way to highlight Amnesty’s work.”

Mentalgassi are a collective of three artists from Berlin. Their distinctive photographic street art is seen throughout Europe, with their work being included in Miami’s Art Basel Fair, Bilbao’s Getxo festival and Serbia’s Exit Festival. Their work can be seen at www.mentalgassi.de or http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mentalgassi/194987001606

Social initiaves that can brighten our day: ''Say Something Nice'' by Improv Everywhere

Imrov Everywhere in collaboartion with the Guggenheim Museum took on a very enlightening and socially beneficial initiative. In New York Union Square , a wooden  podium with a speaker and the tag ''SAY SOMETHING NICE'' were placed in public giving thus the chance to each passer by to grasp the speaker and shout out something nice to the people walking by :) .  How nice as an initiative, so sweet, expressive, genuine, communicative, funny, surprising, spontaneous, humane... An excellent practice, something simple to conceive and implement while adding so much psychical satisfaction,  pleasure, smiles, fun, amusement, social care... feelings that the contemporary Society is deprived of and thus in need of! I wish something similar was also organized in Greece adding thus optimism and color in our routine. n*joy the video attached below :)and never forget to SAY SOMETHING NICE to all the people around/besides you !
