Representation

This video goes into detail on a specific view of what representation means. The definition is as follows: representation is the way in which meaning is given to things depicted. I enjoyed how the term was defined without using the term. It dissected the term representation and broke it down further stating that representation is to depict or present something else; and to re-represent through media.
The following I found especially interesting and was towards the end of the video, "thinking the meaning that is given or that it is giving is very different from or distorted of what it really means. Your work on representation would be a measuring of an event or object."
