Artifactual Communication

Artifactual communication refers to the ideas expressed by objects created by human

hands such as clothing, jewelry, aesthetics, color, and even hairstyle. The appearance of an

individual can also be artefactual communication and can express important information about

someone, such as their social status and even personality. Therefore, this essay will evaluate and

interpret the information expressed by objects created by human hands as portrayed in the two

images.

The first image shows that whoever resides in that room is a music lover because there

are guitars and a karaoke system on the floor by the window. The house is also unkempt, which

shows that whoever uses that room does not uphold tidiness, as evidenced by the rumpling of the

bed and how things are not correctly put in order in the room. The room owner may also be a

geographer or loves geography, considering the painting of the solar system put on the wall

above the bed. The house owner is also likely to be staying alone, considering the size of the

room and the stocking of the items in the same room. Also, the room owner can be considered

computer literate, judging from the computer mounted on the desk in one corner of the room.

In the second image, it can be deduced that the house owner is someone established and

having things done in order considering the arrangement of the seats in the seating room as they

are not just randomly placed. Another deduction is that the house owner seems to be a lover of

knowledge who likes to read, evidenced by the rack of books standing by the corner beside the

TV stand. The house owner can also be considered to be a neat person judging from the

arrangement of the room.

In conclusion, artefactual communication involves deducting relevant information about

someone based on visible objects or expressions. Therefore, artefactual information is a form of

non-verbal communication, as demonstrated with the two images discussed above. This essay
