Semiosis of Meta-Abstract Symbols / Phenomenology of Freedom
2023

The subject of research of the Project is the semiosphere of closed systems of transnational corporations, where the iconic sign is a visual means of discovering new dimensions, or of those that exist outside the visual code. One of the methods for their discovering or creating was the formation of new iconic signs relevant to meanings that are outside the iconic system, with the aim of visualizing them and revealing their new, previously unknown qualities and states. The most effective tool for implementing such searches is the language of meta-abstract symbols signs bordering with a state of transition to a more obvious semantic content.
