Zeichen und Alphabetesigns and alphabets
In meinen Arbeiten untersuche und vergleiche ich Zeichen abstrakter Kommunikationssysteme. Diese reichen von der vorgeschichtlichen Felsmalerei bis hin zur heutigen elektronischen Datenverarbeitung. Sie stammen unter anderem aus der Geschichte, der Völkerkunde, der Schriftforschung, den Religionen oder den Naturwissenschaften. Dabei steht die grafische Qualität der Zeichen im Vordergrund und nicht deren philosophische Inhalte oder naturwissenschaftliche Bedeutung.
In my work, I examine and compare the signs used in abstract communication systems. These come from areas such as history, ethnology, writing system research, religion or the natural sciences and cover a period dating from prehistoric rock drawings up to modern-day electronically data processing. It is the graphical qualities of these signs, which is most important for me and not the philosophical content or scientific significance.
