initial response

my initial response from the starting point of communication and language led off in several directions leading into very different conceptual paths.

my first thought was in relation to the idea of technological langauge and the transferral of data between two mediums. when we input data into a technological device we enter it in a language or 'code' that is recognisable to us. when entering this data, the device in order for it to then deliver the result in which we expect, has to 'decode' and translate into a langauge that it understands, better known as 'binary code', and then reverse it back into a state that we then recognise. this process is undetectable to us when entering the data as the process occurs at such a pace and without visibility. from this i could potentially explore the idea of hidden messages and the unconceivability of the invisible.

another path i considered was that of the rapid transition from the traditional use of text as a form of communication to becoming a widely image based forum. i considered the idea of when we are children before we are literate, the key base of education is the image and how a child can learn the method of fictional communication without the use of text. from this i considered the possibilities of looking at imagery that would trigger a narrative or provoke an emotion without the intended concept being present.
