Elective at semester(s) 6, 8, ECTS: 3

The content of the lesson VISUAL COMMUNICATION (+CULTURE) VISUAL VISIBLE READABLE is the presentation, the analysis and the thorough research and decoding of the correlation between the picture (as a visual system/context and its matrix of signifiers) and the text (as a carrier/field of possible interpretations). Both and together are active either on a 2dimentional entity (a surface) and its social context or in a 4dimentional virtual space and time entity mixted with the rizome-diversion active field they are include or activate.

 

SUBJECT

In the case of the creation/production of a conventional printed set of elements (pictures, signs, words, texts) or the composition of digital web entities (multi-signified, multi-media elements) the compositional connectability of their essential elements (picture-text/sound/video-finding) is contained into and is containing a system of flexible and knit grid of meaningful relationships.
