Art as Information Ecology

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of art and information theory, Jason A. Hoelscher presents a novel perspective that emphasizes art's role in fostering questions and ongoing differences rather than providing definitive answers. Through close analysis of 1960s American artists like Frank Stella and Robert Morris, he illustrates how artworks generate rich aesthetic experiences and insights, existing within an "information ecology" that thrives on complexity and feedback. This approach redefines our understanding of art's function and the nature of information beyond mere quantification.
