In this course

Roy Ascott is a pioneering theorist of cybernetic art and interactive systems whose work frames human-computer interaction not merely as functional interface design but as a creative, semiotic engagement between consciousness and computational systems. Jacques invokes his research across multiple years (2005-2008) to argue that ubiquitous computing mediates perception itself, making HCI a fundamental condition of contemporary aesthetic and social experience rather than a specialized domain. His conceptual framework enables the course's central claim that interactive hybrid environments collapse distinctions between art, technology, and embodied consciousness, positioning him as foundational to understanding cybersemiotic experience in the AI age.
