Mašta #8 UNEXPECTED

Society members have potential to act like quantum, not only by performing different roles but also by taking active roles in several spaces at the same time. Passing on energy, sharing seed-thoughts, leaving examples and networking --all these processes take place in certain levels that, itself, could be a topic for research.

For example, experts couldn't predict economic changes. While biology is based on similarities, economy is based on regularities. Unpredictability makes the regularity-based systems fragile. As soon as I expect laughing in a certain moment, I can start performing as a professional comedian in an online show. As soon as you expect me to expect you to laugh, there is no laugh at all and the campaign to sell cleaning tools, cars or political ideas has failed.

Besides, it's not all about selling items or ideas - the fundamental idea of humor states that a joke itself includes unexpected violations of the conventional. There are cases that the most conventional actions can be perceived as unexpected, depending on the context of the situation. Count on your fingers examples during previous weeks when claiming the basic right of freedom of speech or movement was perceived as unexpected. How often is the simple right to ask a question interpreted as radical? To find out, what made them so -context, chosen media, time, or space - Mašta invites you to look for unexpected changes, behaviors and opinions in your surroundings that can make change, and report on them for the #8 UNEXPECTED!
