WHAT: Upgrade! Boston: Dietmar Offenhuber: Diagrammatic Reasoning http://turbulence.org/upgrade_boston/2011/05/dietmar-offenhuber/ WHEN: May 24, 2011; 7:00 – 9:00 pm WHERE: MIT Media Lab (E14), 6th Floor, Room 633, 75 Amherst Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts Abstract: Charles Sanders Peirce conceived the notion of diagrammatic reasoning as a method of inquiry through diagrammatic operations, emphasizing the fundamentally spatial and sensory nature of language and thought. This talk will show a selection of my projects that employ diagrammatic principles in a variety of time-based, spatial, and software formats.
