➢ ‘Cracking / breaking’ = usually, achieving goals with cunning tricks,
using marginal opportunities and means, creating ‘realistic falsehood’, etc.
➢ ‘Revealing / decoding / deciphering / going beyond’ = usually, sharing of
peculiarity, certain views, solidarity, etc.
➢ The difference between meanings packed in cultural products
is intuitively obvious while considering the visual design itself: integrity and
vitality vs. motives of its violation (e.g., breaking a ‘wall’; tearing off the
paper; cutting / turning to dust the art canvas; face ‘abruption’ from its bones;
digital dataset ‘translucency’, etc.)

be completely chaotic, is for social approval
visuality can be read and interpreted as a text while
bypassing the rational preparation into semantic units
2. R. F. Inglehart’s theory of postmodernisation of values → three visual value patterns:
traditional, modernist, and postmodernist ones
