Study Notes
Image Focus and Interpretation
- Absence of Content: A blank image inherently lacks visual information, forcing the viewer to project their own interpretations and meaning onto it.
- Subjective Interpretation: The viewer fills the blank space with their own thoughts, experiences, and emotions, creating a unique and personal interpretation.
Psychological Effects
- Openness and Blankness: A blank image can evoke feelings of emptiness, uncertainty, or even anxiety, as it offers no clear direction or meaning.
- Introspection and Reflection: The lack of visual stimulation can encourage introspection, allowing viewers to delve into their internal thoughts and emotions.
Contextual Effectiveness
- Minimalism and Simplicity: Blank images are effective in minimalist designs, emphasizing simplicity and allowing the viewer's focus to rest on other elements.
- Conceptual Art: In conceptual art, a blank canvas can represent the artist's intention to challenge established norms and invite viewers to engage with the concept itself.
Artistic Interpretation
- Potential and Unfinished: A blank canvas in art serves as a symbol of potential, representing the possibilities that lie ahead for the artist. It signifies a state of being unfinished and waiting for creation.
Information Processing
- Informatics is the study of how to process information.
- Computers are a tool for storing and processing information.
-
Processing is an action done by a processor.
- The processor follows a set of actions on a set of information.
-
Algorithms are step-by-step instructions that solve a problem.
- They take information as input and produce a result.
- Algorithms must be defined before a program can be created.
Program Development
- A program is formed by following a series of steps:
- Abstraction: Define the problem and select the necessary information.
- Translation: Define the language for communicating with the computer.
- Compilation: Compile the program to execute the instructions.
Hardware, Software & Firmware
-
Hardware is the physical structure of a computer.
- It is composed of electronic and electromechanical components.
- Software is a set of programs that allow the user to manage the operating system and perform specific tasks.
-
Firmware is software dedicated to components that are used directly by the components, but not necessarily by the user.
- It loads part of the operating system into memory.
Levels of Representation
- Compilers are virtual machines that read and interpret assembly language and translate it to machine language for hardware.
- The higher the programming language (Java, C++, SQL), the more difficult it is for the computer to translate into machine language.
- The highest level of representation is closer to human interpretation and uses symbols.
- The lowest level of representation is closer to the machine's processing mechanism and uses numbers.
- It allows for data conversion from analog to digital and vice versa.
- Computers are called digital binary because:
- Digital means they use numerical data.
- Binary means they use two voltage values to represent data.
Binary Representation
- Computers use voltage values to represent digital data.
- Low voltage values represent 0.
- High voltage values represent 1.
- Using only two voltage values simplifies the computer’s work by:
- Reducing the margin of error from perturbations.
- Providing an absolute state representation, like on/off, black/white, true/false.
- The fundamental unit of information is the bit (Binary Digit).
- The number of information bits determines the number of values that can be represented:
- 2^n represents the number of combinations with n bits.
- n represents the number of bits.
- To calculate the number of values from the number of combinations, use log2(X).
- X is the number of combinations.
Bit Structure and Byte Table
- 4 bits equal a half-byte.
- 8 bits equal a byte.
- 16/32/64 bits equal a word.
- Multiplication of bits with base 2 and power n:
- 2^2 = 4
- 2^10 = 1024 (1 Kilo (K))
- 2^20 = 1,048,576 (1 Mega (M))
- 2^30 = 1,073,741,824 (1 Giga (G))
- 2^40 = 1,099,511,627,776 (1 Tera (T))
- 2^50 = 1,125,899,906,842,624 (1 Peta (P))
- Multiplication of bytes with base 2 and power n:
- 2^2 = 4
- 2^10 = 1024 (1 KiloBYTE (K))
- 2^20 = 1,048,576 (1 MegaBYTE (M))
- 2^30 = 1,073,741,824 (1 GigaBYTE (G))
- 2^40 = 1,099,511,627,776 (1 TeraBYTE (T))
- 2^50 = 1,125,899,906,842,624 (1 PetaBYTE (P))
- In binary representation, every information is structured in terms of the elementary unit of information, the bit.
