 The Thinker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
But most of us think that thought is different from the thinker; so the thinker is always trying to control, suppress thought and so on.
When one actually observes the thinker is the thought, then the division between the thinker and thought comes to an end and therefore conflict comes to an end.
And this control, this suppression, this discipline in thought is by the thinker which thought has created.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Seth Leonard: Variations of the Thinker
It's clear that Seth Leonard has come up with an exceptionally unique performance style: his version of hip-hop employs light beats and acoustic guitars, which make it uncharacteristically unobtrusive, while his deadpan vocal delivery allows the lyrics to stand on their own merits, rather than leeching life from a more animated performance.
His narratives may twist and turn, but his songs are consistently purposeful; stories progress logically from beginning to end, their moral and emotional abstractions not only expressed but expounded upon.

 Rodin The Thinker
August Rodin (French, 1840-1917) is among the greatest sculptors of all time—an esteemed artist who brought monumental public sculpture into the twentieth century.
His revered work, The Thinker, was originally conceived on a small scale for The Gates of Hell (1880-1917), a work inspired by Dante's Inferno.
The larger, more familiar, version of The Thinker was begun in 1902: a bronze cast of it is situated at the entrance to the Rodin Museum in Philadelphia—which is administered by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and contains one of the greatest Rodin collections outside Paris.

KT: The Thinker is a twelve foot high fl column that houses a series of computers inside it, running an artificial life programme which has been programmed in such a way that it evolves.
It also relates to this idea that we can never actually prove what the internal dialogue of another human being actually is. It's about the way in which everybody's universe is impenetrable, and the way everyone who thinks has their own separate universe.
