_Description_
Information and communication are at the basis of how we know things 
(epistemology), they are omnipresent in every field of activity. This 
also makes them very slippery concepts or realities: they often mean 
different things to different people, hence their exploration is 
endless. Many of us have grappled with how to convey what we think 
information and communication mean in our teachings or in our research. 
Teaching information and communication theories in a pure academic 
manner can be dead boring. Hence, the idea developed by Jenna Hartel 
(2013) to use arts-informed technique to approach the different 
conceptions of Information in a fun and creative way.
The current webinar is therefore a follow-up to Jenna Hartel’s webinar 
of 2014 (https://www.asist.org/events/webinars/isquares/). We applied 
this arts-informed approach in a French higher education setting and 
took the experiment further by extending it to the concept of 
communication. Our webinar reports on how Masters’ student in a French 
School of Journalism and Communication (Aix-Marseille University) 
perceive the concepts of information and communication. An international 
I-Square group has been formed and experiments have begun worldwide on 
conceptions of information using graphic representations (Hartel 2014: 
http://www.isquares.info/).
