in a different light. You cannot participate in the meaning making process without signalling to other meaning makers, attracting their attention, and influencing their subsequent signalling. If you don't signal, then you haven't participated because you just didn't try. And if you don't attract attention, then you haven't participated because you had no effect on the proceedings.
This is not to say that it's your interpretation versus their interpretation. It's to say it's both at the same time.

One of the weird things about art is that it’s a form of expression that doesn’t necessarily have an audience. Quite a lot of art is more akin to keeping a diary, or singing in your head, than “look at me”. > You cannot participate in the meaning making process without signalling to other meaning makers I have ample evidence to the contrary which I have no desire to share with you, or anyone, other than noting its value to me having created it.
