JHISQUARE CORPUS

20 / F. Information is a time, particularly the 1990s, when we began to be concerned with the “web” and Google.

20 / F. Information is an ubiquitous manifestation of the entire universe around human beings. It could take various forms. It is waiting to be extracted.

22 / F. I don’t think that I can answer in a schematic drawing. Information is everything, and drawing the world is ridiculous but I did my best.

20 / F. Information informs how we interact with our environment. It is in often conflict with other information. Information is knowledge that is used to unite or divide us. Information leads us to new places (hence the canoe).

21 / M. I would say that information is basically anything that can be conveyed.

21 / F. I think information comes in many forms, and is dependant on our ability to read it. It is subject to reinterpretation based on transformed understandings, and the form as well as the extent to which we are exposed to it impacts our development.

20 / M. Information as I see it, has three stages of existence which are wrapped up in one another and each fundamentally change the way it exists: construction (the satellites), communication (the dotted lines), and perception (the head and its sensory organs).

23 / M. We (?) with “reality” through sense-perception the continuous application of different organs brings about the notion we know of as space and time. There two are both containers of a holistic (?) notion of Bey (?). However our reality, sometimes as unconscious, sometimes conscious of directing our attention “some parts”, i.e. “categorized”, gives us instances of where we know or have a specific grasp of. This specific grasp, subordinate to the whole of ’reality’, which enables us to construct a web of related concepts upon reality is an unfolding of an into, roughly speaking.

20 / F. Information is sensory. Each line or colour creates a different image, and with that, a perception. How they fit inside the global image creates an understanding or a question which are both forms of information, the ‘knowing’ and the ‘wondering’.

21 / F. To form you from within. I think information chaotically, through different forms, all of which overlap; I guess how you process information is sort of like information.

22 / F. Information is that which is always flying around us; it can be dropped on our head, we can miss it completely, but it is always swooping by.

22 / M. Information comes from god. Information comes from people. Information creates, levitates, destroys, employs, exploits. It is duality. It is contradictions.

21 / F. Tree representing connections → branching out. Information through writing, but also numbers, music, nature, feeling/emotion, art. Information as both beautiful and contradictory.

20 / M. My piece, ‘information is kolmogorov complexity’ is about how the best definition is kolmogorov complexity, and algorithmic definitions more broadly.

18 / F. Information is an interconnected web/maze of facts. Within a hub there is something valuable (sun)/ eureka/drops of information feed our books (tree).

20 / Choose Not to Identify. This is where we get info. Not an exhaustive list. Biased because I was thinking in English when I started drawing.

22 / F. My drawing is intended to convey the collective nature of information… especially in 2017. We all create, judge and consume information, and its this process which produces information to begin with. I’ve also tried to convey the immateriality of “information” as an abstract concept, and its significance to our entire world system. Information is anything… and maybe everything.

21 / M. Information to me is the constant cycle of ideas and how they’re all interconnected. Information comes from everywhere.

20 / F. Information is a web. You collect knowledge from the outside world (for other’s info webs) to add to the information web in your head.

29 / M. Observations and ideas stored for later use from early counting to modern storage

19 / M. My drawing is colour-coded by cash, power and disinterest as 3 lenses through which to gain info about the world today. The arrows of sight interact to show theory of plain perception interacting in the process of gaining information.

21 / M. In the words of Derrida: “there is no outside-text.” All our knowledge, cultural, artistic, or otherwise, is textual knowledge. It comes to us via a funnel.

19 / F. To me, information is the product of learning, whether done by an individual or all of humanity. I drew the most basic numbers & letters to signify where classroom learning began for me.

19 / F. I feel as though my drawing is incomplete, but that information is anything you think, feel, hear, exchange, touch, and really is what can be gathered and experienced through our faculties/senses. (also, information /=/ truth).

20 / M. Information is lots- info dump, info have, info always, info much, info various, info know, info(rm), info(ld), infor(ce), infor(mation). They all collide and obscure and make something new?

25 / F. About my drawing, I think information is held in a variety of objects, places, things etc., including non-sentient beings.

20 / F. In my drawing I’ve tried to convey how different ways that we get information all are interconnected, showing the idea of information as a network.

19 / F. I used a lot of colours because in my mind, information is diverse and constantly changing. All the colours touch + sometimes intersect b/c information is intersectional.

34 / F. Combination of knowledge in the head and in the world that can be conveyed through experiences. They can use many mediums to spread information.

22 / F. The eye shape represents subjectivity; the circles cyclicality; the network of lines connectivity and the necessity of context.

22 / M. It is interpreted differently, used differently and can be manipulated so as to extract additional meaning as well as create new information.

20 / F. My drawing attempts to show different sources of information, and to show how information informs an individual’s worldview--their “window on the world” .

22 / M. After finishing I realized I drew “communication”. The two concepts are so closely linked in my mind I could not separate them. Does info exist outside of human interaction?

20 / M. The image shows how sense perception is synthesized by the brain to provide information- the yardstick of what is information is determined by the (mind?). The mind can also produce knowledge through inductive and deductive processes.

21 / Choose Not to Identify. This drawing depicts the information of two scholars and travellers inside the Mongol Empire during the 13th century, one Persian and one Russian. I have chosen to illustrate this sort of scene to show that information is a force that can bring people together and create connections. Information and its spread breaks down traditional barriers and allows for people to learn more about themselves and one another. I chose to use the Mongol Empire to illustrate this because [it] was an era of unprecedented communication and saw the spread of information and knowledge across Eurasia. It saw disparate and unique cultures interacting and co-existing, sharing knowledge and learning from one another.

19 / Choose Not to Identify. Information requires literacy and financial means (i.e. unituition and laptop access). It is (at least for me) largely found through books, Google and University classes

23 / M. Information is knowledge that people use to communicate with each other as well as to expand human civilization. It is strongly linked to such media as newspaper, TV or Internet.

26 / F. Information is processnal (sic).

20 / M. Information is a process whereby objects in a state of disorder are systematically placed into a state of order according to a set of communicable rules
