10th International Congress of the German Association for Semiotic Studies (DGS) |
View from Gerd's hotel window the first morning.. |
'Bahnhof Wilhelmshöhe', the tram and bus terminal |
Entering the campus of GHK Kassel for the congress... |
Large Buildings. |
From the 'big houses'... |
...to more 'smoother' pathways... |
...closer to the nice places... |
When our section started, after Gerd's talk (not as a picture), Ricardo Gudwin was peforming his talk... |
After Ricardo it was Alexander Mehler's turn. |
Some audience: Udo Figge and Rodney Clarke |
More audience: Edwina Taborski, Burckhard Rieger, Ricardo Gudwin (from front to back) |
Solomon Marcus questioning Alexander Mehler after his talk |
Udo Figge discussing with Ricardo Gudwin |
Burckhard performing arguments ... |
Rodney Clarke is watching the scene... |
Then had Burckhardt Rieger his talk (He is the person who invited the founding members of the now existing international Computational Semiotics Group 1998 to the NIST-conference at Gaithersburg, whre they met each other the first time...) |
Karl-Heinrich Schmidt starts an argument... |
...facing the audience... |
...diminishing distance... |
...here comes the climax.... |
One of the cafe breaks. The woman in red is Gisela Röller, in the board of the DGS responsible for finances. At the right boarder you can see Guido Ipsen talking with Edwina Taborski showing her back. |
The left person encircled is Gennady Uzilevsky |
Rodney in action... |
Rodney was in his talk flying through the recent history of Computational and Organisational Semiotics. |

Meeting in the Ratskeller: (from left to right:) Alex and Ricardo. |
Ratskeller2: Alex, Ricardo, Helena Gudwin, Martin Bäuerle. Stories from around the world could be heard. |

Inger Lytje after her talk listening to Solomon Marcus. |
Inger Lytje walking with Ricardo to a restaurant (Saturday searching a restaurant for lunch in Germany is not so simple....) |
Solomon Marcus giving his talk. He uses still handwritten transparencies. He is one of the 'great old men' in Semiotics. |
Solomon Marcus answering questions after his talk. |
Edda Leopold is vividly moving during her talk.... |
...here from the frontside. |
When Listening is becoming hard work ... |
...a visit in a restaurant can help (from left to right: Inger, Ricardo, Burckhard, Alex). |
Edwina Taborski during her talk is a bit the opposit to Edda; Edwina prefers to stay at her position. |
Edwina. |
Martin Bäuerle is representing the paper of both: |
...the both are Martin and Nico Weber. |
Udo Figge, who organized the Sektion 'Computer and Semiotic' together with Alexander Mehler. |
Always a grand Seigneure and not without humor. |
Gennady Uzilevsky during discussion. |
Gennady projected texts, distributed transparencies and talked at the same time. It was difficult to keep track... |
This was the end of section C (Computer and Semiotics, saturday evening). The next morning I visited with Ricardo and Edda the Section A (Art, Body, and the Digital Media) which continued that morning.
A problem starts and drives people into 'strange behavior': Guido at the machine, left is Rejane Cantoni standing, right Diana Dominguez who wants to present, behind (yellow) Edda, right at the border Lucia Santaella. |
After about 20 minutes the team comes closer: from left: Guido, Rejane, NN, Lucia, Diana, and in the Background Winfried Nöth too. . |
A very strange problem.... |
...Guido hears some voice over the air telling a solution... |
Rejane Cantoni and Lucia Santaella after the problem has been solved. |
Diana Dominguez seems not yet really to trust the PC: Whether the PC will really do what I want him to do? |
Diana Dominguez ist showing a Video presentation of a sophisticated Multimedia Art Project. |
Rejane Cantoni before her presentation with Lucia Santaella. |
Rejane Cantoni during her talk, using only a sheet of paper... |
Winfried Nöth introducing Lucia Santaella. In the light of her 'doings' is Lucia one of (or even 'the') most important living Semiotician today. She has e.g. tutored more than 120 Diploma and PhD students. |
