Visibility

While reading this piece I found myself struggling through it the first time around. As I read
more and more I came to the realization that everyone sees something in a different way. What stuck out to me in this article is when the author was talking about the the iceberg how it is big and unseen underneath the water. I relate this to my own life and the struggles I have with my boss, otherwise known as my grandfather. When doing a project he always uses the famous line “ it will only take a minute” he sees the top of the iceberg that is not covered by the water. But I see the whole iceberg which shows the difference in the way that our minds work. Overall this was an interesting read that allowed me to look at things in a new light.

Another thing in this reading that grabbed me was that Loyola feels that visual imagination is extremely important. This shows a more of a personal connection that individuals must have to be able to visualize the words of the church into their own specific meaning. Depending on ones back ground they will visualize things differently, the meanings of the words will develop their own idea.

Postmodernism

Postmodernism is that era of art that we all live in today. With the world changing at a rapid rate from the old school ways of things, to the new way of  free expression and no rules lifestyles that we all live. Postmodernism is labeled as a time that we currently live in that allows us to knock down the barriers of unneeded traditions of all cultures for example in this new era we are able to date whom we see fit because in this day in age we are allowed to have our own set of morals that we create ourselves. In the article the author talks about how cultures are being split up into sub cultures, a point that i thought was interesting was “ The explosion of new communications technologies and the continuing fragmentation of cultures into thousands of little cultures has forced us to view our world as simultaneously expanding and shrinking.” This quote was very compelling because it makes you think about how the world is yes shrinking because of all the advances in technology ...

Data Visualization

After watching the video on YouTube I was very impressed with the presentation that they showed. What I immediately took away from it, was that one of the lead apple designers said, "We spend most of our getting design out of the way". What struck me from this is that modern businesses really do this, if you are in the technology or even car business it seems today companies are going after a plain basic look. Doing this they steer away from design itself. Another point that really resonated with me was that the first map that was used and regarded as a piece of art is now in the same class as google maps. The way that design has transformed really took me back when watching this.

While watching “ways of seeing” starring John Berger I was able to find two things that made me question and inform me on how I look at art. First was how the use of a camera has the ability to change how people perceive things. “ the camera reproduces it, making it available in any size anywhere, for any purpose.” this ability of the camera allows people to see centuries old paintings in a new light. Instead of having the painting in one place unable to be seen by the masses, but know we are able to see these works of masterpiece in our own homes. Which allows the meaning to be transmittable allowing for newer  arguments and discussion. With the ability to make new meanings the camera allows for the painting to be either looked at in greater detail or as a massive landscape. By doing that people can focus on different aspects they might have not seen before. With doing all of this work the camera has been able to do some significant things. “ by making the work of art transmi...
