My first thoughts were that the creator of the a piece is trying to relay a message to their audience when they create something. People in turn, have something to say about it. They may even be inspired by the piece and create their own. When people see this piece, another conversation is started. The cycle never stops.
Yoko Ono's "Cut Piece" performance speaks volumes to the fact that design is a conversation. She did not speak during the performance, yet you can take so much away from it, because it provoked audience members to think about things that are not talked about on an everyday basis. She created conversation among the people watching.
She is an artist that has does this often in her work. I am sure that there are many artist that do the same thing that I may not know about.
Another way to look at design of a conversation is having a piece in your home to talk about. These are the pieces that are cool, odd, or just plain random. They create dialogue among people because they are not seen as what is normal. People want to know why it was created, what inspired it, how does it serve a purpose, and other questions.
Below are pictures found on Houzz.com, in an ideabook entitled The CONVERSATION PIECE.
What do you have to contribute to the conversation?
