Study task 4: Images and theory

We were put in to groups in order to research the meanings of given words, and to find images that represent them, this is what we came up with:


Reproduction
'the action or process of copying something.'



How Could this Link to my Project?
- Reproduction as a technique used in practice
- Reproduction of others' works
- Idea of reproduced art, rather than one off pieces
- No more original ideas.

Links to Visual Culture
 - Commodification of art through social media
- Reproduction of themes and ideas in advertising


Postmodernism

' A late 20th-century style and concept in the arts, architecture, and criticism, which represents a departure from modernism and is characterized by the self-conscious use of earlier styles and conventions, a mixing of different artistic styles and media, and a general distrust of theories.'

How Could this Link to my Project?
- Changes is aesthetics caused by changes in how work is shared
- Moving on from traditional methods of sharing and creating work.

Links to Visual Culture
- Blending of aesthetics
- Moving back towards old school methods and aesthetics.


Meta communication

'metacommunication (plural metacommunications) Communication that indicates how verbal information should be interpreted; stimuli surrounding the verbal communication that also have meaning, which may or may not be congruent with that of or support the verbal talk.'

How Could this Link to my Project?
- Lack of ability to comminucate through visual cues because of people working digitally and not communicating in person.
- Expression used to communicate ideas through symbols, emojis etc.

Links to Visual Culture
- Communication through symbols
- Hidden meanings in advertising
