Information Theory and Esthetic Perception

Théorie de l'information et perception esthétique

Abraham Moles

Historical context & research account

Moles's French study later appears in English as Information Theory and Esthetic Perception. It examines how art objects are perceived as informational messages and how redundancy and complexity contribute to aesthetic experience. Alongside Bense's work, it supplies an important theoretical background for information aesthetics and subsequent debates about computational form.
