Study Task 4 - Image and Theory


  • Choose a term 
  • Research the term. What does it means? 
  • Find examples on images
  • What is it doing ? How is it doing ? 
  • How could you use it to interpret your theme ? 


TERMS 
  1. Reproduction :  The action or process of copying something.
    The production of offspring by sexual or asexual process.
  1. Signification: The representation or conveying of meaning.
    An exact meaning or sense .
VISUAL EXAMPLES ( IMAGES)
Reproduction :

    

A very scientific visual representation of reproduction , by sexual process ( left) and asexual ( right) .

 How could I link it to my project : 

- Reproduction of other's people work
- Mass production approach
-Reproduction as a technique used in art

Signification : 

  

The best example of signification I could find would be visual metaphors. In this case, John Holcroft ( Left) is representing the idea of private health care probably in america, as a Dr toy which always will move as soon as you put some coins in it.

On the other hand, Pawel Kuczynski's illustration represent the isolation that technology nowadays provide us,  making us think we are more "connected" between each other but the true is that smartphones are destroying the human social interaction little by little.

How could I link it to my project : 

- Processing or signifying symbols or signs in my practice
- The continuous use of signs or symbols as main communication skills

HOW CAN YOU INTERPRET  THESE TERMS RELATED TO YOUR THEME ? 

I'm not sure about reproduction term would fit in anything I want to do for my cop project, but signification is definitely related to my theme and how I'm planning to approach to it. The use o visual metaphors plus a little of satire to represent a society that is falling apart thanks to the technology used nowadays , therefore signification is the best term that I could have picked from the list. I will need to look at the others anyways and see if there are more terms that I could use on my cop project and apply it, but is a good starting point.
