I was the third to register and I've got 2 days, 1 hour and 18 minutes.
Guess I am not as active as I once used to be.

Dann --my name, basically.
Klaasillu (which is the only alias I use) --given to me by some artists from an art group I was part of.

Ha, that had me in bursts!

P.S:. I never said I trusted or even agreed with Ancient theories (Energy-based, etc). I don't. I used it to prove evolution is within the roots of the most pure knowledge of humanity; that's it has never truly been something logic would have ever questioned.

Science suggests evolution depends mostly of a action-reaction cell behavior. In ancient knowledge, evolution has been said to act through the balanced mix of a third energy-based component, to which humanity called "Nature Energy". Starting on the absolute that each human being possess Yin and Yan; --thus a complete chackra flow--, it is reasonable to conclude evolution is forced upon our vessels. Through said logically explained theory, a human's path was of purity. Become one with nature. Complete animal metamorphosis. How senseful can this be, you may be wondering?

Action-Reaction
Energy-Balance
Human-Animal

Can you see the pattern? Through the notion that evolution is forced and not endorsed, a reaction becomes an action. Balance becomes energetically sustainable and inconstant. Animals become one within the form of humans. What reason leads me to twist the riddle further up, and how does it still makes sense, regardless? Simple. Look at it this way; If I force you to walk towards a celled lion, unarmed and left with your own corpse alone, to fight for the survival of your specie, what is it that it's truly happening? Stepwise:

1) You move. You walk towards the cell. What was once a reaction to my demands is now an action of your own.
2) The balance of what you once had and controlled has been exposed to the circumstances/energy that flows around you. What would have been a obvious fight between you and a lion can change due to the perception of outter energy; through momentos. You now balance Energy within yourself and your surroundings to better fit specific situations you encounter yourself with.
3) You are a human. However true as that might be, if presented in a certain habitat, against certain enemies, you will adapt. You will become an animal-in-command, and act/think like one alike. It's not a switch you can plug and that's it; It's something you are forced to --and adapt to.

Conclusively, ---and disregarding the explanation of Ancient knowledge--- humans, as animals, do evolve. Both physically and psychologically. Adaption is not only the first step to evolution, as it also is -by far- the best known among Earth's history. Denying so is the same as saying black hair and blond hair, even though regarded differently and of divergent looks, own the same properties.

This is a book I am writing and is mostly based on the per-misses contemplated between Visual Language and the Subject. The reason why I felt inspired to write about this is mostly due to the fact that almost everyone is trying to copy work from someone else these days, and leave almost no space to being themselves in what they do. More than having good replicas, we should have good innovation; I believe.

Visual Language vs. Subject

We learn to talk; to express ourselves through words. We learn the alphabet, the sound of each letter, the sound of different words, the looks of the zillions words we are given access to, the meaning of the least and the meaning of the most, the punctuation and how it affects our dialogue, the big and the small, the representation of each ---and yet, we never truly understand what language it is that we convey our thoughts through. Blind belief and be-damned purity, is what we trust the most and more often, when ever we act and attach.

Why are we not all made poets, then? Simple. Communication can not go without feelings. If you are not what you write, then what you write will never resemble or belong to you. It will exist, and reach the superficial floating mind and essence of the others, but it will never truly establish a connection; a bound.

The key to communication; --thus expression, affection, and reaction-- is to remain true to the truth of your being. You might be wondering: How does this connect to art, or graphic designing, or visual expression as per say? It does not; or rather --it might, or it might not-- depending on the way you look at it, and read it through. Read the words as if they were yours. Flatter them with your immense --that is you.

All humans create and are created.
All creations are unique and universal.
Therefore, all humans are unique and universal.

Hold that in you. Hold the thought that we are, in many ways, equally different. Even if we both use the same red colour, the same white outline; we will forever reach an equality through a different ---and very exclusive--- process. In our days, nothing is new anymore, besides what lives being. And what is that? It's you - it's me - it's us - it's them - It's what you allow others to see and how different that vision is for each person. The principle to understanding Visual Language is in the act of trusting that for every person, you will always be different, yet always the same.

P.S:. The next article/ continuation of will talk about the three keys to communication --expression, affection and reaction-- more profoundly. The introduction about Visual Language is, for logistic reasons, initially associated with the subject. We'll go from talking about and with you to talking through and with you and finish with talking about, through and to the others. I hope you enjoy the reading and allow yourself to live this experience open-wide.


Feedback appreciated.

I agree with you both. Photography and how it relates to and with humanity is one of my most favorite subjects of the Theory of Photography. As amusing as that might be, the true question remained in what attracts you more, which doesn't necessarily link to what connects and affects the most with you.

It being mostly addressed as sarcasm does not imply that I do not agree with it;
All it does is making it harder for others do read or take it in a neutral way.

It messes more with what's on the other side of the screen, solely.
Which, truth be told, is something I adore to sport.
