Let's call a [i]trigger[/i] something that makes you realize that there is information in an object. For example, when you see a record, its shape serves as a trigger because from that you understand that there is something to be found in the grooves of the record. Let's refer to the information on the record's grooves as a [i]message[/i].

Every transfer of information has a trigger and a message. As another example, when you hear/see someone speak, you take that as a trigger and automatically begin to decipher the message that lies within their speech sounds.

When you look at a piece of visual art, like a painting or a sculpture, is the artfulness in the trigger? Or the message?
It depends on the individual and what they find artful. The message or the trigger. And it may vary.
Thank you i enjoyed reading your response very much.
