Concept

"Mental Viruses" is a work in progress by Walter Carbonel.

Mental Viruses is related to the theory of Memes, which is a theory of the self-replicating cognitive patterns or unities that make up the cultural process. Paraphrasing Neurolinguistic Programing (PNL), where it is assumed that the brain works like a computer, Walter Carbonel tries a representation of the abstract shapes in his mind. For instance, toys (for example teddy bears) are identified as destructive elements, as a kind of "virus", where they block some subconscious mental processes; allexhibited in a playful way.
