Ur Images represents the intensification of the Urban Shift in Common Style noted in the Cultural Revolution. Ur images is a course about honoring and celebrating the uniqueness of the diversity of cultures in this global village. The course sets the stage for further work in the arena of pluriformity later in the Academy.

Music, Decor and Rituals accent the presentations whose poetry and gimmicks are crafted to occasion a sniff of the Ur. This is a course about the profound responses that are the inventions of humanness as faces of the abyss. It is about the modes of standing before the awe that are beyond race, religion, culture and sub­cultural forms that is nevertheless expressed in those manifestations.

Ur images is out to share a method for analyzing profound consciousness and build images that form a basis of future mythology.
