The idea of the project arose out of the observation that the language thinks and attributes the substance, and, by changing the tone, elicits a trait which is latent in the word. Τhe Greek word βίος means life, particularly in its purest mode which is time, thought and memory. But in everyday use of the word the tone slides from ί to ό and the meaning changes into the belongings that have been acquired through lifetime work (βιός). Βίος is becoming βιός and βιός becomes βίος.
