While debating the medium of visualization communication I came to the conclusion that it was anything that could be viewed as altered by human means.
So I began to make a quick comparison chart, with flowers as an example.
Wildly growing flowers, not visual communication.
Bouquets of flowers, a garden full of flowers, new breeds of flowers, importing exotic
flowers, watering flowers, even scattering seeds into the wind to see if they grow could
be considered visual communication.
While debating the issue mentally, I began to think of the Flint Hills and where it may fall on being visual communication or not. Initially, I felt no they were not visual communication, they were simply wild fields. Wild fields that were purposely untouched.
That last statement made me realized that even the lack of human interaction was interaction, if the purpose of in-action was to preserve the object as it was. Arguably the visual communication
given by the Flint Hills was that it was worth protecting.
Anything that has, or could have been, affected by humanity is some sort of visual communication.
As long as someone, anyone, made a decision to affect something, or not, they have
communicated this intent to whoever views the outcome.
Maybe I should just come in wearing black sunglasses to demonstrate the only way not to be effected by visual communication. But that might only work if everyone else was wearing them too?
