I have tried to think more about our work and the idea in the relation to the these of loosing ones identity and becoming part of something else in a group or collaboration and the process of this metamorphoses. It seems a topic that we have followed and I think it is an interesting one to continue.

As a starting point I thought about what actually makes us individual, or even more precisely: what is it that makes us what we are, what does it mean "to be" in the world. I think it is from this point that we can also analyze what it means to become part of something larger (in the case of our work so far, this is our collaboration)

there are for things I watched which seem interesting and related to this topic (I'm sure there are thousands more of course) , I will copy paste the links:

http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/heidegger-thinking-the-unthinkable/
This is a documentary about the philosopher Heidegger who revolutionized about how we think about ourselves.

Being is about a process of becoming, there is no such thing as a fixed human essence.
we are constantly projecting ourselves into the future, hence this idea of becoming.
The idea that 'one' is not actually 'one' was revolutionary (1920's).
All this stuff is fucking hard to understand and I'm struggling, watch and documentary).

The following Ted talk is also really interesting and in my naive opinion is that it is linked to heidegger, this time the focus is why are the way that we are and perceive the world in the way that we do:

Dawkins suggests that we are more like a permanent wave. "If you think back at an event in your childhood, you cannot say you were actually there. Not a single atom in your body which was there is here now. Matter flows from place to place and momentarily comes together to be you. Whatever you are therefore, you are not made of the stuff of which you are made" - sort of mind bending.

Here is a ted talk which is also interesting because it talks about how we are approaching a new era of evolution. Individuals are less important than the mass which are working together in collaboration to achieve certain goals though the use of new technologies (such as file sharing, sharing information etc.)
In some sense the indivifduality is less important, the emphasis on this speech is about retain the FREEDOM to do this, as we are constantly sabotaged by the industry against this natural way (check ted talk.)

I thought this documentary about jean paul sartre was really interesting too. "man adrift in a godless universe, hostage to his own freedom".

have fun...
