Here is an experiment to deconstruct the learned English language system. Using symbolism and imagery we are going to highlight how engrained our visual language is.
Here is the idea through symbol translation:
dodo
.l..l.
:l.:l.
::l::::l::
!.!.
ol::ol::
()lo()lo
The more time you spend transfixed on these symbols, the more you can visualise familiarity.
This is through the conformity of an engrained language system - our already structured relationship to symbols.
Ask yourself:
At what point does dodo's symbolised translation lose all meaning and become little more than an order of symbols?
Which distinguishing characteristics are created by certain symbols to make them familiar?
Does our brain logically try and recognise what is familiar or what 'makes sense'?
Will unoriginality will be prominent so long as we have these structures, as an individual will always relate to previous material?
Will an attempt to let go of familiarity provide us with creation, and will this only been recognised when the beholder denies the same familiarity?
Try the same exercise with:
Look
.l..l.
:l.:l.
::l::::l::
!.!.
ol::ol::
()lo()lo
