Abstract:

The act of naming, where sign and the signified are coupled as an act of touching, establishes the foundations for the meaningful use of language. The computer, a language machine, possesses the capacity to input sensory data from the physical environment where signification occurs. To design a computationally extended sensory environment with intuitive gestural interaction will necessarily then have touch as a foundational factor. The universal element in such systems is language; the specific is the context of place, a space where the significating action of touch occurs.
