Thank you for your communications, unfortunately I did not see any of the works in person however I over heard the Mayor saying they were very good.Loved the blog/website and the descriptions of the installations by each of the artists, would be great if this could become an annual event or move up to the more prestigious Centenary Square next year? Say hi to the folks back home!

Recommendations:

¾ of perceived art making is radically reduced to an industrial mind sent thatunfortunately saddens all those involved. You cannot go home at night andconsider that, philosophically (and psycho-spiritually) you have made adifference in the world around you. Well, that’s what is going on in the mindsof man and women that ‘think’ they are servicing mankind in the Western(arts) world. This is a ludicrous situation!

The Genius Concept™ is structured in such a way to value ourselves first,combined with others and the world around us. The Genuis Concept™ isbranching out from its successes in America and has chosen Birmingham tomake a difference.

The diagram below shows the ratio of misused creative energy (that which is

in yellow) set against the creative potential that is missing.

To awaken the missing 25 per cent and diminish the 75 per cent in thediagram (the yellow), the diagram must be switched the other way round. Inorder to do this, I am proposing another invisible action and activity inCentenary Square in Birmingham in the United Kingdom. This is a projectcosting £100,000 and £10,000 (10 per cent) is currently being sought asinkind or financial sponsorship. A bid to an arts organisation in the UnitedKingdom will follow shortly with a full programme of invisibility progressingmankind into new psycho-creative realms. It promises to help make thingseven better!
