ABSTRACT

Meaning is hidden in the ajar, in liminal places and people, in errors, margin notes, frayed edges-when we open to each other, where we play, when we play. Meaning is a property of play rather than a property of a thing, a property of a system changing. If a signal is either on or off, its meaning is either zero or one. Unchanging stimuli cease to attract attention. If a note oscillates, as frequency or amplitude modulate, or a screen changes colour, then information is carried.
