Week 5

Experiment

My experiment can be found here: https://jramos70.github.io/week5/experiment.html. My project is called Elon-spirational Quotes and it displays various Elon Musk quotes in 3D. The three keywords I thought of while making this project is change, non-static, and pop out.

Readings

I thought that Course in General Linguistics was an interesting read as it says that speech and sound alone do not have any meaning; it is the shared experience(s) between two individuals that allow those things to have meaning. I think that makes sense as someone who speaks English cannot effectively communicate with someone who only speaks Spanish because they do not have the shared experience of speaking the other's language.

Related to the above idea of what defines meaning in a language, Mez Breeze fuses "English, poetic conventions, programming code, contemporary social commentary, and online communiqué". Although parts of the language can seem foreign to certain viewers, people with a background in any of those subsets of the language will be able to understand those portions of the text. It is there past experience(s) that allow them to interpret the meaning of Mezangelle.
