meanings, messages and aesthetics
The presentation of brief number two occurred in today’s practical/workshop and it was slightly nerve racking. I wasn’t sure how the other students, or the ‘audience’, were going to consume my video. usually when it comes to my art, I’m very passive in terms of “I understand it so it must make sense” both in terms of a meaning/message and aesthetically, and its not until I put myself in the audience’s position do I realise all the other ways my creations can be interpreted and received. However, people seemed to like it, I felt better being able to explain it. Because art should be a natural process, I feel less inclined or obligated to explain what I create, but because this is not self-initiated and had to follow requirements and adhere to restrictions its a littler harder to stay quite and let the audience do the interpreting.
