Blog Assignment #2

The information-over-audience quadrant graph made me look at the work I create in a different manner than any way else I have viewed art in the past. Though I would like to think of myself as someone who is able to rest in the (0,0) vertice within the graph and be able to translate into any of the other hemispheres, at this current point, the area I want to shift my future focus towards is more towards specific audience, low information density.

I myself have a rather specific taste in most things, so the range of my work follows that as well. As an aspiring filmmaker, I want my work to cater to a group of people that relate to the work, but I still want it to be somewhat accessible to more general audiences. I guess that would put my x-axis point at (3,0).

This is why I believe lower information density is the work I will push myself towards. Though I don’t really believe low or high information density in art is a thing; the scope of the information relies purely on what the person absorbing the work takes in. For me I interpret the y-axis of the graph as how much “effort” is needed to grasp the work. As stated above, I want my work to be accessible and oftentimes the things I enjoy are more laid back experiences. Lower information density will allow the work I create to be able to penetrate more audiences.
