"The project went almost 100% as planned. Minor challenges occurred, not worth mentioning. The project ""The Ego was about open the discussion up to the genera public. Along side the intense group work with the 4 groups from Iceland, Denmark, Sweden and England (64 individuals), we were launching the LungA lab. The LungA Lab is an open philosophical and educational platform where we invite the people of Seyðisfjörður, it’s guests and the world to participate in a ambitious program with lectures, movie screenings and discussion forums during the LungA and Erasmus+ 2017 youth exchange program. We got philosophers and artists to give talks about the topic, from their personal and professional perspectives, we facilitated open discussions and performances in the hope of generating a broader conversation and a deeper impact on a more wholistic level.In the ""LungA Lab, the ego” 2017 project, we discussed the different layers of the human ego, including the alter ego and other possible variations there may be. We did research Freuds theories as well as Kirkegård, Plato and other philosophers. The outcome isn't whats important but the journey, the conversation and the possible self realizations along the way.As individual human beings, we are only powerful enough to change the way we think by installing new perspectives in to our hard drive. New perspectives can be created through discussion and confrontation of other points of view.Philosophy has worked with the division of the self, the ego, the consciousness, for as long as philosophy has existed, but how is it relevant today? We live in a world ruled by alteregos, illusions, and make-believe, where the most important personality trade is to be able to create a profile so strong that people wont ever see that you are actually human, with flaws and all. An illusion that contaminates our ability to actually balance between the different layers of our selves. Our becoming Prime Minester Katrín Jakobsdóttir gave a great lecture about the ego in politics. Goddur, Þórunn Eymundar and Samantha Shay took the artistic and philosophic point of view on the topic. Participants took part in art workshops, leaded by well known and lesser known artists. Everyone were offered to chose from eight different workshops in advance. The LungA Lab were run in conjunction with the workshops so the discussion about the Ego was the theme from day one to the end. Artistic program open to participants and general public was also run along with the workshops."
