PODs are people. People who don’t look like people but are shapes that resemble in the simplest form the person, the body, the being not being. They just are. This is their Journey.

The idea of the crowd psychology has fascinated me for years. The minute I got my drivers license I was out as much as my parents would allow me to have the car. I went to Union Station, to Olvera Street, Chinatown and LAX… all to watch people and their dynamic. The Crowd. Below I’ve copied an exerpt from Wikipedia about crowds.

Wikipedia: Biomorphism is an art movement that began in the 20th century. It models artistic design elements on naturally occurring patterns or shapes reminiscent of nature and living organisms. Taken to its extreme it attempts to force naturally occurring shapes onto functional devices.

Crowd Psychology: Crowd psychology, also known as mob psychology, is a branch of social psychology. Social psychologists have developed several theories for explaining the ways in which the psychology of a crowd differs from and interacts with that of the individuals within it. Major theorists in crowd psychology include Gustave Le Bon, Gabriel Tarde, Sigmund Freud and Steve Reicher. This field relates to the behaviors and thought processes of both the individual crowd members and the crowd as an entity.[1] Crowd behavior is heavily influenced by the loss of responsibility of the individual and the impression of universality of behavior, both of which increase with the size of the crowd.[2][3]
