This webinar introduces an arts-informed, visual approach
to engage the concept of information afresh: the draw-and-write
technique. Human subjects are asked to answer the question "What is
information?" in the form of a drawing, generating a compact piece of
visual data coined an "iSquare"
(http://www.jennahartel.com/isquares.html).
The webinar instructor, Dr. Jenna Hartel of the University of
Toronto, has used the method to explore how people envision information
(Hartel, in press, 2013a, 2013b).
