The Artefact project explores the language of computer-mediated space as it is expressed in games -its unique internal logic and properties. Artefact is part of an ongoing investigation of the semiotics of digital space and human-computer interaction. In a virtual world, both the elements that constitute the world, and the world model or system, are equally important in signifying meaning. In the process of investigation, elements such as characters, objects, and icons are identified, decoded, and transmuted into a world model, which combines iconic ideals with personal specific imagery. Semiomorph actualises a hybrid model such as this into a coherent alternative world.
