Week 5 Independent Study

The Subliminal Message

My strategy for concealing the letters and numbers within my island will start at the micro scale and work its way up to the macro.  However, this will not coincide with the subliminal nature of any of my reveals.  For instance, I may have a macro scale reveal, which is subliminal.  The letter and number which I have is “S” and last number in my student id is “0” but I will make it “10” as told in the weekly task.   The occurrences of the S10 letter number-combination in natural elements such as trees or ground-vegetation are the results of human activities, so there are no naturally or randomly occurring instances of the subliminal S10 letter number combination.

Near the waterfall, rocks places shaped into the number "10"

Trees shaped into the letter "10"

Week 5: Lecture Reflection 

In the lecture we were shown how artists have created words/letters/numbers out of the environment, and how previous students hid their letter/ number combinations.  I learnt about the subliminal message which can be both very obvious and very discrete.  The action I will chose would be both, I will want to hide some of the symbols to see if anyone can catch it and some I will make it easy to see.
