The protagonist is a square - squares are descried as 'Of quadrilateral figures, a square is that which is both equilateral and right angled'.
The word square talks, rather than the talk being squared.
Everyone starts out a triangle. - Proletariat
The less sides the shape has the higher up the hierarchy you are.
Circles are the bourgeoisie they have infinite sides.
'It is wrong to attribute spiritual or moral superiority to a being merely because of its physical or mental abilities'.
Flatland is a mathematical essay, meant to explain a point: that higher dimensions may be present in our universe, but if they are, it will be nearly impossible for us to understand them.
The more sides to the shape the higher the class but all women are just one singular line because we are so low we can't be put into a class or don't deserve to be a shape.

Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols, in particular as they communicate things unspoken and spoken. However, Ferdinand de Saussure suggested that semiotics is the study of signs and sign-using behaviour. He said it was the 'the life of signs within society'. The construction of cultural meaning within my tin is displayed through the designing of the tin which is handmade. Making things by hand and giving sentimental gifts is a tradition within my culture as its a way of expressing remembrance and emotion.

My object is highly sentimental which displays a vintage laxatives tin on the exterior which has been damaged from having it for many years. The slight rust adds to the archaic aesthetic the tin brings which forms its unique inheritance. This object has been handmade suggesting that it is an individual object which has not been repeated elsewhere, however, it has been handmade by my mother making it more precious. The tin is made out of metal which is not of much value, and the interior of the in contains archaic book paper which it cut to the size of the box. The right side of the box is embroidered with quaint flowers, the pastel colours of the flowers are personal as they are my favourite colours. Having the petite red heart button symbolises my mothers support and caring nature, as the heart is centred in the middle it dominates the eye and the colour red is dramatic however is the colour of love. Having the quote stating 'Don't forget to fly' is important because my mothers has always said it to me and having it within the tin installs remembrance and memories as well as confidence. The wooden bird links with the quote as birds fly, the flowers also connect with the bird as birds live within nature and wood comes from trees. The bird has no patterns, colour or detail on it giving the bird a bold presence as the silhouette of the bird highlight the action of flying rather than focusing on the attraction. The texture of my object varies from cold from the metallic exterior contrastingly inside the tin is warm and cosy because of the fabric and the memories it contains. The tin itself has come from my hometown Ashbourne which is located in Derbyshire however the origin has come from the bottom of my mums heart. The little objects within the tin have originated from a draw within my home that contains many little craft items. Having a handmade gift is increasingly more meaningful than having something that is brought because of the personal elements. The process of making this tin, was the discovery of my grandmas old tin of laxatives, old book paper from my grandmas book, this highlights the inheritance value the tin has. The embroidered flowers were sewn by my mother which is sentimental as my mother can not sew and I can making it significant as it is the only embroded item I have that was created by my mother. The tin is becoming rustic and the printed label on the exterior is wearing off as the tin is old and ageing which I adds memory to it as it makes me think about my grandma having it as well as my mother. My object is not pragmatic other than the petite size that is practical for carrying it around as it is pocket sized however theoretically it is rather practical for emotional considerations.

How does Flusser define ‘form’ and ‘material’, and where does

‘design’ fit into these definitions:
Flusser defines "form" as neither discoveries nor inventions, neither Platonic ideas nor fictions, but containers cobbled together for phenomena. He states that if form is the opposite of matter, then no design exists that could be called "material". Also, he addresses that if form is the "how" of matter and the "what" of form, then design is one of the method's of giving form to matter and making it appear as it does not like something else. Design fits within form and material by Flusser's explanation of stating that design, like all cultural expressions illustrates that matter does not appear expect in so far as one in-form it, and that, once in formed, it starts to appear. Also, he defines that matter in design as everywhere in culture, is the way in which forms appear. Through this I gain an understanding whereby Flusser is showing that nothing is "immaterial" and that everything has an importance as immaterial has been distorted.

What does Flusser seem to think is the cultural importance of

‘materiality’?:
Material is tangible, accessible by touch and it is undefined to be shaped by the context. The importance of materiality though a cultural sense can be depicted through the significance of stating that the material world is an illusion. Every object has a  thought that goes with it and culturally materials are important for specific cultures for example the bible which is a book is highly significant for the culture of Christianity.

How might any of the ideas in Flusser’s essay change the way you

could look at your own chosen object in the Unit 1 project? [i.e. test

out some of Flusser’s concepts by applying them to your object, what

kinds of interpretations of your object does this produce?:
The material way that Flusser sees and thinks results in representations suggesting that my objects all have representations for something. My tin represents the care and support my mother gives me and that she will always be there to help me when needed. However, the tin itself is a laxatives tin so the literal representation is difficult to understand if I didn't explain it to someone who didn't know any context about my object. The formal way Flusser sees and thinks about his designing emphasises the form in the appearance, this can be related to my object by seeing the process of how it was made. It has been handmade through stitching and the paper has been cut and stuck my glue suggesting that the course of which the material can be seen is taking on a leading role.

My objects collectively and individually:

Collectively:
The objects collectively are highly sentimental and important for me so collectively they bring back many memories. As they have no physical attributes which make them similar in any way to anyone, they highly are connected in the idea they have inheritance value. My objects represents a timeline as within my five objects contains my first object, the bear, given to me by my father and my last object was given to me on my 18th birthday suggesting that all my objects highlight a major milestone and memory.

Individually:
My objects are random when seen together and have no connection towards one another however, this enhances the idea that they all can have an individual meaning and memory behind one another.

What do you think miller is trying to show:
My own interpretation of his offline and online design anthropology instantly was that he is explaining that the developing world that displays a growing online world however he suggests that this is natural and what humans should be doing. He stating that interior design can be captured and created through every routine, mark making and step of life. Materialism is vital and he shows this through his book of "The Comfort Of Things". His idea of design anthropology is that the way individuals curate their online personality translates to the curation of their interior design and experiences with objects.

According to this text what is an interior decorator:
Daniel Miller expresses what an interior decorator is suggesting that it is not limited to professional expertise, it is apart of being a human being. An interior decorator is not limited to physical materials it can be non physical items that can have significant value towards an interior and an individual. He states that a person, any person, anybody and everybody can be an interior decorator.

What is a curator:
He states that to curate is to feel responsible for, and look after the objects in your possession. To create an mean illustrating some theme and anyone can arrange and organise an interior. It means to gather objects for a specific meaning or significance to create pleasure and harmony between all the objects for the human eye. However, within the modern world individuals are now developing curating through the media and networking sites, documenting their lives. Also, to curate can be the way an interior is being designed

By implication what is an object and where does the significance of objects come from:
The significance of an object comes through the history, personal experiences and memory it brings to an individual and this is ordinarily human as everyone has objects that has either inheritance significance or sentimental significance as humans are materialistic. The object does not have to be physical in order to be meaningful as the online world allows connections and networks for fulfilment.
