David Joselit appears in the course materials primarily as a theorist of visual meaning-making and interactive spectatorship, particularly in relation to Duchamp's interrogation of form, content, and linguistic sign systems. The citation contexts suggest he's being mobilized to theorize how artworks generate meaning through audience interaction rather than fixed authorial intent—a framework that parallels cybernetic feedback loops and distributed cognition in AI systems. His work seems to enable thinking about how both artworks and algorithmic systems produce meaning relationally, through feedback and interpretation rather than predetermined content.
