Lecture Programme Summary
- everything we do in terms of our work will be about making meaning
- visual lit- how to negotiate and make meaning in the form of an image
- based on the idea that pictures can be read (symbols, signs, images, photos)
- some of what we do is universal, and some of it is only culturally understood, but once we put something out online, its out there for good and people will see it
- “work the metaphor”
- things are simple and we already know the basic principles, we just need to learn how to use them
- 90% of what we know culturally relating to our practise wont matter in the future, because everywhere is different and histories are different everywhere
- we’re referencing a language thats been used before, people that have been perceived as ground breaking are now being used for new work to formulate
- “design is both a political and cultural force for change, although most designers choose not to think about the power it has”
- where do you position yourself, is it about image or message, both?
- research is what we do, process of finding facts which lead to knowledge, done by using what you already know
Review the information you’ve already been given and build on that/ try and make sense of it for next year. COP 5 starts in October.
Start with what you already know.
Identify what you want to know more about.
Plan how you are going to find out about it.
