BIANCOSHOCK: VILFREDO PARETO - MILAN, 2019
Biancoshock reinterprets the famous Pareto Principle (also known as the 80/20 rule) invented by Vilfredo Pareto, one of the most important Italian economists and sociologists. The 80/20 rule stats that roughly 80% of the effects come from the 20% of the causes (click here for deepening). The Pareto Principle found application in a surprising multitude of fields and disciplines: in economics, in computing, in sports, in occupational health and safety. For this reason it became universally recognized.
Biancoshock applied this rule to the Graffiti field to commemorate Vilfredo Pareto.
