Tutor notes
• Practical is well developed
• The purpose of the message - ambiguity and recognition
• Interpretation - buzzwords - correspondence
• Essay - define terminology - subversion in the context of communication
• Write up - Introduction - type up from peer review boards
• Start writing in order to identify the gaps (e.g. where extra theory is required)
My notes
• Practical work contains unspecific messages, authored by the reader
• Features personal symbolism/iconography/logic, however the audience can't always decode
• Interested in the mystery of ambiguity
• Ideas about distribution? (a postbox? collaborating with strangers? addressing them to people?)
• Creating a network. Classrooms, pin boards, public spaces, studio drawers..
Essay
• Stick to subversive forms of communication• Define those terms for essay (subversion)
• What is the value of subversion within visual communication?
- authenticity
- the allure of ambiguity
- subjectivity in art (not everyone will enjoy something, so why try to please them all?)
- individualism (age of the individual)
• The essay is about discussing, investigating and defining a subject, not answering a big question in a concrete way.
