A semiotic approach to visitor interaction, participation and perspective in digital arts
Birgit Huemer
pp. 144-147
This paper will focus on the concept of ineractivity, visitor perspective and representations of virtual or illusive space by using a functional semiotic approach that considers different modes of communication (e.g. language, image, sound, etc.) and their intermodal relations. The multimodal framework for the analysis and interpretation of digital art works, which are increasingly generated multimodally, is based on the systemic functional language-theory proposed by Halliday (1978, 1994). This approach has inspired work in expanding the functional model for analysing visual design (Kress & van Leeuwen 1996), music and sound (van Leeuwen 1999), as well as visual arts, sculpture and architecture (O'Toole 1994).
