Duchamp’s eagerness for interactivity is seen in his ludic interactions with the spectator, questioning form and content, and consequently meaning, extended beyond visual arts into language. Throughout his career, Duchamp’s use of signs was…dynamism” (Cobley and Jansz 2012, p. 25).

Daniel Chandler is a semiotics scholar whose work on signs and meaning-making provides conceptual frameworks for understanding how representation operates across visual and linguistic systems. The readings invoke his engagement with Peircean semiotics—particularly the triadic model of signs (representamen, object, interpretant)—to analyze how artists like Duchamp used signs not as fixed carriers of meaning but as interactive and ambiguous systems that implicate the viewer in producing meaning. This semiotic apparatus becomes crucial for theorizing how algorithmic and computational systems similarly construct and circulate meaning through signs and symbols.
