Ethical Theories
Inspired by Sol Lewitt and Eadweard Muybridge, this project explores simple elements, lines and shapes, and movement and aim to provide a simplified concept of ethics. It is also a combination of complicated -philosophical thoies, aesthetics and minimalism. Each Gif's animation has its sequence, which illustrates the knowledge, and macroscopical layout create another sequence about the evolution of political science or ethics.
The main ethical theories are based on the book "Ethics: theory and practice" written by Jacques P. Thiroux.
Can art stand up to power in a meaningful way? ; Could art reflects Philosophy or Political science's theories?; Those questions will also be metaphorically considered in this project.

Rule
Utilitarianism
In the Rule Utilitarianism form, the basic utilitarian principle is not that “everyone should always act to bring about the greatest good for all concerned,” but rather that “everyone should always establish and follow that rule or those rules that will bring about the greatest good for all concerned.

Kantianism
Kant theory attempts to universalize the maxim and then see if the maxim and its associated action would still be conceivable in such a world. For instance, holding the maxim "kill anyone who annoys you" and applying it universally would result in self termination. Thus holding this maxim is irrational as it ends up being impossible to hold it.
