Steel Artwork (Procession)
Procession is a steel-rod sculpture on Armenian Street, George Town. It is on the wall to your left, after the big "Old Man" mural by Ernest Zacharevic.
The sculpture depicts the Grand Float Procession held in 1926 to celebrate the birthday of Tua Pek Kong. As it was the Year of the Tiger, effigies of the tiger was carried through the streets
Observing the procession is a British tourist who remembers the last tiger shot in 1930
Tang Mun Kian The artist, designer and cartoonist behind
these wire sculptures is Tang Mun Kian. A graduate of the Malaysian Institute of Art, he dabbled as an advertising art director for a decade in Singapore before moving his base to Kuala Lumpur
Intercultural Communication
Ethnocentrism - The tendency to judge the values, customs, behaviors, or other aspects of another culture
Why?
The British guy is judging them of killing the tiger without even knowing their culture
They are actually celebrating tua pek kong birthday
Perception
Passive perception-way of understanding something or become aware through senses
Difference in Perception
Physiological factors- study on function of our body
Past experiences and roles
Perceptual constancy
Why?Observing the procession is a British tourist who remembers the last tiger shot in 1930
So he assumes they are killed a tiger
Non-verbal Communication
Nonverbal communication is communication without words.
Gesture, smile or frown, widen eyes, moving closer to another person, wear jewelry, touch someone, raise your vocal volume
Why? The 2 guys carrying the tiger
float shows they are happy, because they are smiling
You can clearly see the british guys eyes has widen and his mouth is open in shock, showing that he his in shock
Small Group CommunicationInteraction between members
Interdependence
Establishing group climate:
Trust
Supportiveness
Cohesiveness
Why? The 2 guys carrying the huge
tiger needs to rely,trust and communicate with each other, in order to successfully carry the tiger.
Human CommunicationCommunication has been broadly defined as “the sharing of experience,” and to some extent all living organisms can be said to share experience.
Mass Communication
Message intended for the masses of individuals.Feedback is limited.Communication is characterized as public
Why? The message on top of the
tiger is to explain the history and culture behind, so that we wont miss interpret the situation like that british guy on the steel art works
