Nelson Goodman, the philosopher who founded Project Zero at Harvard in 1967, provides a foundational framework for understanding how artistic and computational practices intersect through what the course readings call "cybersemiotic experience." His work on symbol systems and ways of worldmaking becomes a critical reference point for scholars developing cybersemiotic approaches to HCI and intelligent systems design. The excerpts suggest Goodman's influence operates somewhat in the background of contemporary AI and art theory—enabling discussions of meaning-making and representation across human and machine systems rather than appearing as a direct argumentative presence.
