It is interesting to think about how symbols are transmitted. Do people all receive the same message? Or do some people get a different message from the symbol?
In Shannon Weaver's communication model, it says that communication that does not work as intended, has failed. So then, is there no room for interpretation? What if the artist wants the viewer to take from the symbol whatever they want? I guess in visual communication, we are trying to get the viewer to see and understand what we make. It is less about feeling and more about correctness.
