Hi, S-J, I think this is an example of what you call Vispo. I don’t mean to make you feel bad at all, but as you may have guessed, I can’t relate to it in any satisfactory way. In some way I think that is related to my strong feeling that Vispo, as far as I can see, is a genre that could be most easily faked by an electronic Artificial Intelligence. Why? It has the same lack of explicit logical or direct emotional links between its parts as a collage, only more so. It asks the viewer (consumer) to supply the links, rather than the links being supplied by the human creator. You are human, so it’s ok to do these things in my opinion. However, in the future, a device could select whatever its filters allow, and the viewer is then made to make “meaning,” a process that I think could lead to, at best, mechanical advertising, and at worst … I don’t want to go there. Sorry, I’m sure you mean well. It’s not for me in any case.
