This book traces the origins and evolution of cybersemiotics,
beginning with the integration of semiotics into the theoretical
framework of cybernetics and information theory. The book opens
with chapters that situate the roots of cybersemiotics in Peircean
semiotics, describe the advent of the Information Age and
cybernetics, and lay out the proposition that notions of system,
communication, self-reference, information, meaning, form,
autopoiesis, and self-control are of equal topical interest to
semiotics and systems theory. Subsequent chapters introduce a
cybersemiotic viewpoint on the capacity of arts and other practices
for knowing. This suggests pathways for developing Practice as
Research and practice-led research, and prompts the reader to view
this new configuration in cybersemiotic terms. Other contributors
discuss cultural and perceptual shifts that lead to interaction
with hybrid environments such as Alexa. The relationship of
storytelling and cybersemiotics is covered at chapter length, and
another chapter describes an individual-collectivity dialectics, in
which the latter (Commind) constrains the former (interactants),
but the former fuels the latter. The concluding chapter begins with
the observation that digital technologies have infiltrated every
corner of the metropolis - homes, workplaces, and places of leisure
- to the extent that cities and bodies have transformed into
interconnected interfaces. The book challenges the reader to
participate in a broader discussion of the potential, limitations,
alternatives, and criticisms of cybersemiotics.
