Abstract

Information as art talks about the paradigm shift suggested by concept art in the 1960s, in the aesthetic and production field. Many of the artistic expressions produced by conceptual artists had in common the use of data and information as a primary material, since that moment a new perspective is opened that will trace the beginning of the using of information technologies in artistic production, evidencing the foundations of a pre-neomedial art, as they share forms of creation and criticism of their own works’ medium. With the critical efforts of conceptual art, they manage to give a turn to the aesthetic paradigm, leading to a type of art that depends on information, and not an information that depends on art.
