Everything a person knows is shared with the rest of the team.
We collaborate on tasks for the team to work on.
We appreciate the superpowers of each person.

Kardia dice... Rock, paper, scissors?
Deciding what is art and what is rubbish is not a matter of luck, as in the game `rock, paper, scissors´.
Behind each piece of art there is an aesthetic sense, an interpretation and a message that each author expresses through the combination of materials that they have used whether these materials are new or not.
