Culturally conditioned visual communication in creative expression

Abstract

The human body and its consciousness interacts with a number of external and internal factors, including, among others, the surrounding environment, experienced emotions, those things seen, things that are possessed and touched, and affection that is experienced, all of which accumulates over time as personal experience. In the aforementioned process memory plays the most significant role and predetermines the extent to which an individual remembers (and perceives) their own experience, and how they identify and are conscious of their own self-esteem, etc. The aim of this research is to record an idea and its transformations by reference to its associations, implementation and interpretations. Thus, transformations require personal experience, memory, knowledge, verbal and nonverbal abilities, as well as psychical phenomena that occur during research through the interaction of the participants. In our research task we presented 5 squares in which fragments of abstract pictures were placed. The participants were asked to freely interpret the fragments and complete the pictures. The results allowed us to conclude that associations and the process(es) of interpretation are inconstant and independent of each other. Associations usually visualise views of our physical environment, whereas intellectual creations are most frequently found in interpretations.
