Chapter 6

Art can be interpreted by the audience in many different ways. There are alot of different things that are used to make the audence think differently. For example it could be the use of space. Space means different things to different people. Some people are claustrophobic or agrophobic, therefore they view space in a negative way. Whereas others are neither of the two therefore they view space in a positive way and may not even feel anything when they go into a certain space. These people however may not even look at the video through the means of what the space is like, for example if the central heating is on full blast then they could feel relaxed, or some people could feel too hot therefore they will see this in a negative way. On the other hand the air con could be on too cold, therefore they could feel prettey awkward, or they could see the cold in a positive way. Also meanings could be interpreted in a different way. For example on Koyannisquatsi, people could see this video as an anti pollution video, but the video could also mean human life evolving and eventually decomposing. Or people could not view the video in a meaningful way at all, they could just see it as a bunch of random overview shots of the city and stuff.
