You've just been enrolled at Ism Academy - How to master philosophy in 30 sec shorts

via ism.jackielay.com

Another amazing project by Jackie Lay for the 2010 SVA MFA Designer as Author Thesis Project. I love this one.

"Ism is a series of short motion graphic videos that introduce academic ideas like nihilism, taoism, existentialism and buddhism in an exciting and accessible manner. By holding to a strict time limit of thirty seconds, each Ism video condenses an entire ideology into its purest form and filters out the inessentials.

Philosophy encourages people to partake in critical thinking and question the hows and whys of their daily lives. By encouraging people to be receptive to new ideas and challenge their preconceived notions of life, Ism hopes to help educate and spark a more enlightened culture.

Ism is currently looking for a compatible television network to show these thirty second films. Television networks with an educational, cultural or youth-oriented focus would be ideal."

Ism is currently considering the next topics for films. Possible future subjects include Darwinism, Marxism, Stoicism, Skepticism and Feminism. Any recommendations?
