Concept author(s) contribution
However as you can see their are quotations by Naomi Klein "No Logos", Ian Williams Goddard, Jacque Fresco (The Venus Project) and Free World Carter web address. To attribute this document (Free World Carter) to any single person or group would be inaccurate and highly unfair to many people. As with any important philosophical or policy document, the contributors are innumerable as any one person's ideas are modified and improved on over time. The actual words of the Charter were written by Colin Turner, a songwriter and music producer from Dublin, Ireland, but many of the underlying concepts were originally inspired by Jacque Fresco's 'Venus Project' and Peter Joseph's 'Zeitgeist' film series - visionaries who, no doubt, would attribute their inspiration to many other historical influences too. What's important is that, logically, this is the next step in the progress of humanity, and one that best ensures our survival and that of our planetary companions. With that in mind, the Charter is, to all intents and purposes, a self-writing document.

Description of idea
Describe your idea and concept of your work in relation to the festival outlines:
This piece is one of recent where I have been sharing ideas that I have learned of through the Zeitgeist films , The Venus Project (www.thevenusproject.com, Future by Design video on YouTube) and more recently The Free World Charter (www.freeworldcharter.org).
What kind of communication approach do you use?
Straight forward images that have happened to many, are continuing daily in many parts of the world and written information that is aimed at showing solutions.
What are in your opinion concrete benefits to the society because of your communication?
Because many people I come across on a daily basis have no idea about some of these ideas and hopefully they will be inspired to do something themselves and actually go to web sites earlier mentioned.
What did you personally learn from creating your submitted work?
Just how many people are totally unaware of "alternative media", the root causes of our behaviours. Also gaining more confidence by discussing these ideas with people.
Why is your work, GOOD communication WORK?
Because it actually says something, has the edge of realism and is not just "pretty pictures".
Where and how do you intent do implement your work?
As usual, in public, take it "on tour" with other similar pieces.
Did your intervention had an effect on other Media. If yes, describe the effect? (Has other media reported on it- how? Were you able to change other media with your work- how?)
As you can see from the date when it was finished, I have no idea whether it has had an effect on other media or whether other media have reported on it. I am aware of some people already who have responded in a constructive manner and visited the web sites or are already aware.
