information please?

I realize that one thing that I'm interested in doing with my art is to present information within it. There is something concrete about information. If all else fails with regard to the imagery's symbolism or meaning there would still be this info that could stand alone and sort of ride on the coat tails of the artwork and be "presented" to the viewer. In this respect I really like Mark Lombardi's work. His information is presented in a schematic format in as spare a way as possible. The scale and sparsness of his schematic layout becomes a kind of beautiful web-like structure. The information contained within the work of art is insanely dense with meaning and implication.
