I’m very happy to have this quite abstract theoretical paper on sign production modelling out on the Signata journal. If you’re brave you can read it here.

I’ve been invited by Maria Giulia Dondero and the équipe from the Centre de Sémiotique et rhétorique to participate in an workshop dedicated to “Enunciation and programming languages”. I will try to discuss a computational model for sing production.
I’m very proud that my essay on “Modes of sign production” has been included into the volume dedicated to Umberto Eco in the Library of living philosophers.
I’m very happy to have my article Towards a semiotics of the audible in the issue 6 of Signata, as the editors gave me the opportunity to finally review and translate into English a work I started with my PhD thesis. Here it is.
In the occasion of seminars at CIRMA, with Alessandro Mazzei, my partner in crime for this kind of stuff, we analysed Nanni Balestrini’s Tape Mark I, probably the first poem created using a computer. We reconstructed the original implementation and proposed a new formalisation. And of course generated a lot of new versions.
On 29/09/12 I have presented with Alessandro Mazzei a paper at the XL Meeting of the Italian Semiotics Association, this year in Turin. We’ve sketched some preliminary notes on semiotic issues of programming languages. While studying it, we got hooked, so now we have a new research topic..
