Theme: Parallax

Although we may have thought of similar ideas in our lives, but the way we look at each idea is what makes each think in different, unique ways. From here, the name “Parallax” was found. Parallax is simply the way an object’s position seems to change depending on the viewing angle. In this situation, it’s how different an idea can be just because we are looking at it from different perspectives. Our Event will apply the meaning of this theme through speakers who will discuss some ideas that seemed different and even weird to their communities, just because they were looking at them from angles that no one has ever thought about, and how this was the first step on their revolutionary roads.
