Just looking at the title of the chapter I could tell that this was going to be an intense chapter.
Viewer= the most basic sense of the term, and individual who looks
Audience = a collective of lookers
Producer = is a person who identifies financing and oversees the many jobs involved in a production.
The producer can have many hidden meanings in a piece of work, anything from a sculpture, to 3-D to 2-D to virtual, to video.
Anywhom, authority is what address power that is enacted between viewers and producers of images and media texts. That allows deciphering and interpretations.
Page 57:
Kitsch: formerly referred to images and objects that are trite, cheaply sentimental, and formulaic; associated with mass-produced objects that offer cheap or gaudy versions of classical beauty...... Like dang.
This word really struck my attention, I really like learning new words!!
Like Lava Lamps.
Sensus Communis: A metaphysical principle that links us in a community at the level of our senesce and our bodies (pg 57)
The ending of the chapter was a great ending with the visualization of Adrian Piper, she should definitely be an inspiration to everyone! She has done so much research to make sure her art has a precise description. But at the same time, she supplies many different approaches towards the culture within the community to show her art(s).

Project One!
Even though that this is due today! Or last week.... Something like that.
I wanted to do something along the line of something to do with a blind side.
I came up with that idea while driving and having people hanging out in my blind spot.
Then I got the idea of using my uncle kevin since he is actually blind.
Anywhom, I wanted to do something that was people were "blind" about.
One of our lovely classmates mentioned mental illness, and that is right up my alley!!
I have an aunt who was mentally ill - she was diagnosed with schizophrenia in her early 20's. After she was diagnosed everyone's life was turned to basically hell. It was believed that she was diagnosed with drug induced schizo, which most people are diagnosed from that way.
Billboard:
The billboard is made the way it is because it allows the eye to move across the page and feel different emotions. The faded faces show many different emotions, and the two strong faces on the sides show how quickly ones mood can change with a mental illness such as schizo.
The Ad:
The ad was just simple, but eye catching at the same time. I added the local NAMI site for societal engagement. I took the sunset picture in the background in the mountains. But showing someone the light can change everyone's life!
The Poster:
The poster is telling someone many different things.
Can you tell who lived with mental illness?
Vivien Leigh - Robin Williams - Vincent Van Gogh
Mental Illness is.....
The thought behind this is that you cannot tell who lives with mental illness. Everyone in the poster lived with some sort of mental illness - all of them schizo or along the lines of.
It's a trick, cause you cannot tell.
THANKS

Ego Surf!!!
When I googled myself - I first had to sign myself out of google or else google just showed me everything that I had uploaded to google!
When I googled myself, I did not find my direct self for there are many Emily Williams (') in the world!
I instead put in Emily Williams Grand Coulee WA. Then bam! Everything that I have been involved in up there showed up. Especially when I was in ad's in the Star Newspaper of Grand Coulee.
Also, when I searched that, my LinkedIn AND Facebook showed up, as well as my blogger.
It was vey interesting, cause also I watched my friends with unique names pop up their names and their names popped up instantly!!! So, you never know what google knows.

POL Chapter One Reading
Starting the chapter out with 'representation' was just what I wanted to read at a time like this. As I have been thinking about our project number one non stop, I am excited to say that this will be interesting to put together a billboard..... anyway off track.
"A photograph is often perceived to be an unmediated copy of the real world, a trace of reality skimmed off the very surface of life, and evidence of the real" (p. 17)
This quote is very powerful, cause photography is now in an even bigger debate than ever! Because of photoshop, or other amateur photo editing programs, have ruined photo's. One now does not know what is real, or what the picture is saying what it is actually saying. Yah know?
Charles Sander's Peirce had the best idea, because NOW sign interpretation are basically how civilization lives! For example, road signs, emoji's, keyboards, cell phones, apps! EVERYTHING! We cannot get away from it.
Semiotic images have taken over, and that is the exact reason why I am going to college for it.
"
Signifier is the entity that represents
sign is the combination of the signifier and what it means
The Image (or word) and its meaning together (the signifier and signified together) for the sign
Image/sound/word = signifier
meaning = signified

Good Job Peirce!
