In this course

Paul Cobley appears in the course readings as a semiotics scholar working with Peirce's triadic model of signs—the representamen, object, and interpretant—which becomes crucial for understanding how meaning operates across interactive systems and human-computer interfaces. His work is cited to establish the theoretical foundation for analyzing how signs function in digital and artistic contexts, particularly when artists engage with meaning-making through interactive systems. This semiotic framework helps the course articulate how interface design, user interaction, and interpretation are philosophically entangled rather than separate domains.
