Eco, The Poetics of Open works

Here is a short few words on my thoughts of The Poetics of Open Works,

Open work is a term used for a creative piece, be that music, art or even writing, that is constructed with multiple directions of interpretations. How the piece is interpreted depends on the viewers perspective and their initiative to string elements together to create a whole piece. How someone sees and interprets a piece depends entirely on their subjective thinking through a certain perspective, thus creating this openness as one person can not possibly think the exact same way as another. Artists like to harness this multitude of interpretations as it adds an infinite amount of layers to an artwork making it reflect the dynamic and complex human personality. The open nature of art and creative work results in the work constantly developing and it encourages the viewer to think harder to unravel the messages hidden underneath the years of different interpretations. It pushes art further forward and so encourages innovation in the way artists think.
