A few years ago I co-founded a non profit cultural association called Probeta (Test tube). We wanted to create a cultural project that would bring together different interpretations on a changing theme (what is Time, what is Light, what is Identity…), from different artistic and cultural, professional, and ideological disciplines. Our claim, of course, was that “reality doesn’t exist”. Because each of us can have a different interpretation of a single subject, due to our beliefs, our experience, and our motivations. Now, I recover the sentence, and the logo with Schrödinger’s cat, to develop another idea: the S.P.A.R.K.S. THINKING Method.
What is reality if not a subjective interpretation? Each of us has a unique version of the world, filtered by individual experiences, beliefs, and perspectives. This logo, with Schrödinger’s cat—half-dead, half-alive, challenges us to look beyond our own certainties and explore the complexity of others’ truths. In the diversity of opinions we find fertile ground for dialogue, understanding, and collaboration. Recognizing that reality is shaped by our experiences and that each individual brings a unique piece to the collective puzzle is essential to building bridges rather than walls.
Nowadays, “la realidad no existe” takes on special relevance. It invites us to empathetically contemplate the proposals and points of view of others. And that is the fundamental principle of the S.P.A.R.K.S. THINKING Method.
I wanted to create a system that would not forget two main aspects of a person, and of a group: on the one hand, logical, analytical and verbal abilities, and on the other, creativity, intuition, artistic and spatial perception. That is why it was important to integrate the best of both cerebral hemispheres!
And, when we listen, connect data with emotions and, above all, give ourselves the opportunity to integrate other points of view… sparks ignite, and we find, together, great solutions. Effective, motivating, and with a rational basis. The projects generated with the S.PA.R.K.S. THINKING Method are the result of all this.
Study. Participate. Activate. Recreate. Keep. Spread.
