Hi all, video
It is good news for the Virtual Worlds Research Project in Denmark that Ates Gürsimsek will defend his PhD dissertation at Roskilde University Friday the 9th of November, 2012.
The title of his dissertation is: “Multimodal Semiotics and Collaborative Design – a social semiotic approach to the co-production of virtual places and artifacts in Second Life.”
The dissertation is an in-depth study of collaborative design processes in three case studies: The Metrotopia Research Island, a 3-week student workshop and the Pop Art Lab case. Theoretically, among others, the case analyses of the dissertation draw on social semiotics and design theory.
Send us an email (Ates[at]ruc.dk or sisse[at]ruc.dk) if you wish to get a copy of the dissertation
Hope you’ll attend the defense and in case you can not come “in person” we will stream it.

Good luck, Ates! You’ll do super!
