Take a moment to think about this very closely; they might not be speaking to you in a verbal form, but they are surely communicating messages to you in way only you can understand. Could this means they could feel, think, just the way we do? Perhaps. Objects are often part of language, sometimes even before they exist. These objects become social or cultural artifacts well before they are used by living things. Objects "meanings" and "functions" are framed within the constrains of a cultural group. We assign them significance because of what they do, and what they are made off. Shapes, colors, matter, and the combinations of the three build pretty much everything in our observable universe. We just interpret what they might be. If we are made of the same matter, why not think that they might be "alive" too, with feelings and ideas of their own. We will never know what they really want, but we can sure interpret what they are trying to communicate. Contemporary artist make works that engage with viewers about theories of symbolic communication and strategies of analysis. Many of them use text simply for its ability to communicate meaning that are difficult to express in images alone; to convey ideas, descriptions, arguments, and possibly, the interpretation of what the objects someone interacts with, are trying to say.born digitalStudent worksworks of artCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
