6 Statements on Models
Models do not just represent “reality” but render a specific view of the world.
All Models are selective: they reduce and abstract the part of the world they represent.
Reduction and abstraction always are intentionally guided in modelling.
Many models have a normative, prescriptive apsect in that they are instructions for constructing 'reality'.
Powerful models often operate using substantial metaphorical, connotative and/or symbolic surplus.
In this perspective, works of art simply are exceptionally powerful models!
