“From the Peircean perspective,
the focus is on the phenomenology of signification, i.e. signs as they are
experienced. This is very useful as a starting point for understanding how
users might experience interactive media signs.” (p81)
Annotation
Drawing
on work by Peirce, O’Neill conjures up a term that connects my research areas
together. The phenomenology of signification looks at
how semiotic signs
are experienced. Although no more than a term at present, like aesthetics of interaction it presents a way of synthesising pragmatics, semiotics and phenomenology together to
explore how visual
communication can influence interaction design.
