My thesis is that "information" is
— epistemologically — a realist category:
what I call information is something "out there"
in the objective reality, not just a useful term of
art residing in the investigator's mind only. It has
no mass, energy, or spatial extension, it cannot be
seen, touched, or smelled. Nevertheless it is a distinct,
objective entity.

made this drawing robot that takes information that
people give it over the web and draws it out for them.
The drawing implement is a sumi brush that is hacked
together to connect to a reservoir above and to the
right of the robot. Artpainter stands for adaptive resonance
theory painter, also known as the painting machine.
This device takes user input through a website and local
tablet pc's, which it then "learns" through
system of neural networks. The machine then improvises
using what it has learnt. LINK
