Module 3 Concept 12

As with Concept 12 - Communication and Information are related - the information that we store and organise for future reference is quite often applied for different purposes to that which it was originally intended for. As with Val Casey's site re notes on Visual and Interaction Design, the sites that she has linked to, were created for different reasons and yet she has used them in her own context to convey her message. And in discussing Eduardo Kac's work, Stephanie Strickland makes an apt observation:

"In the context of the work, the ability to change the sentence is a symbolic gesture: it means that we do not accept it's meaning in the form we inherited it, and that new meanings emerge as we seek to change it."

Below is a Venn diagram that demonstrates the context model:

Being concious of the benefits of managing information efficiently can greatly assists us in recycling and then communicating that information within new contexts.
