Abstract

PELAYO, Raquel. Jorge Pinheiro: the impossible drawing or the limits in communication. Estúdio [online]. 2012, vol.3, n.5, pp.217-224. ISSN 1647-6158.

The "Mapas" series of the Portuguese artist Jorge Pinheiro provides the starting point of this article that discusses the information representation visual systems as variations on a single human technology: drawing, considered as a matrix of all representation and information encoding in communication. It is verifiable in the form-content relation that as strongly the representational system encodes, as strongly it represents itself.

Keywords : drawing; representational systems; codification; Jorge Pinheiro.
