Digital semiotics: making sense of the world | Oscar Bastiaens | TEDxDordrecht

During his talk, Oscar will talk about how we are becoming more dependent on a super system of signs to still be able to make sense of the world we live in, and the world we are programming. As a researcher in the field of Digital Semiotics, Oscar investigates what is real and what is simulated, and if our brain is more easily tricked than we might think. While working together with the students of the NHTV Creative Lab in Breda, Oscar developed the world’s first fiction film for the Oculus Rift. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
