POL Chapter Two Reading

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).
