To consider the dynamics between the different personalities of the team is also a key factor to a successful collaborative endeavor, as it has always been repeatedly mentioned in Biomodd, that “it’s actually not just about the goal (result), but its about the process”. Biomodd, an art installation itself, was conceived to be a living sculpture that grows alongside the process of collaboration amongst us. How it will grow into maturity will greatly depend upon the dynamics of our collaborative efforts. In other words, Biomodd will reflect the quality and extent of our cooperation.
This is what Biomodd embodies to me. This local version of the installation that we’ve had agreed to put up together should reflect our very own culture of “bayanihan” (“voluntary community effort”) spirit, whereby people did not just come together to pursue a common goal but to establish a heterogeneous relationship towards each other, placing great emphasis on graciousness and courteousness called the “pakikisama” or “pakikipagkapwa” (“human relations” or “social intercourse”), customary among Filipinos. -Leo Olavides
