What is consciousness ?

​

Consciousness is best defined as "integrated information".

Information is best defined as " a change causing interaction between two or more systems".

​

So, if an art work is information about the artists consciousness, then in the viewing of an art work a change causing interaction occurs. The viewers neural state is changed ( thoughts ) , in line with the integrated information composing the artists consciousness. The viewer interacts with the integrated information the artist is expressing.
