intertext
The group project “intertext” explores the question of text and image interpenetration.
Any conscious thinking is interrelated with a language and speech, and is subject to their structure. Language is the main social communicative means. It presents an established system of signs and codes within a particular context. Each of these signs is formed according to the relations between the signifier and the signified, the binary opposition proposed by the founder of structuralism, the French linguist Ferdinand de Saussure. The canvas of text gets born from a uniform system of signs. Although we are used to perceiving the text as a visualization of verbal speech activity, any set of codes with a certain meaning, can be considered a text.
