In this course

Peirce is foundational to the course's semiotic analysis of how art and systems generate meaning through signs rather than direct representation. His triadic model—representamen, object, interpretant—becomes the conceptual tool for understanding how Duchamp manipulates meaning by severing the expected relationship between a thing and its representation, making the spectator's interpretation an active site of meaning-making. This connects semiotics directly to cybernetic feedback and AI systems that similarly operate through signs, objects, and the interpretive processing that transforms data into significance.

When we ask for the meaning of a statement we are talking about language, and are using a metalanguage; and when we ask for the meaning of “meaning” we are using a metametalanguage, so it is not surprising that the question is difficult to …
