متن کاملUnderstanding Visualisation: A Formal Foundation using Category Theory and Semiotics
This article combines the vocabulary of semiotics and category theory to provide a formal analysis of information visualisation. It shows how familiar processes of information visualisation fit the semiotic frameworks of both Saussure and Peirce, and extends these structures using the tools of category theory to provide a general framework for understanding information visualisation in practice...
متن کاملThe Joy of Visual Metaphors

After extensive research in the semiotic fundamentals of the visualisation of theoretical texts (Reichl, 2008; Reichl, 2009), this research project is concerned with what makes visualisat...
متن کاملMachines generating novelty
Computation and digital processes have become integral to everyday communication. The study of how digital media produce meaning, known as computational semiotics, works towards an understanding of the unique properties and characteristics of communications mediated by computers. Articulating and mapping new forms of communication and expression enabled by digital media is important in understa...
متن کاملlifeSigns: Eco-System of Signs & Symbols
The nature of the computers as a machine for processing symbolic logic is widely recognised. However, they also have the potential to ‘generate meaning’ through these same processes, particularly in the domain of constructed, artificial worlds that exist in terms of their own logic and codes. An interdisciplinary model for meaning generation is articulated via the intersection of artificial lif...
