SEMIOTIC MECHANISM OF HETEROTOPY (IN RELATION TO SCIENCE ART)

The article continues a series of publications devoted to the problem of heterotopy in art. The author considers heterotopy as a social-spatial and linguistic phenomenon. The analysis is based on the conception of heterotopy as a semiotic system, which manifests specific correlation between the signifier and the signified. The research is focused on the artistic practices of Science Art. The findings allow the author to conclude that heterotopy aims to create an alternative worldview, which is achieved by the mechanisms of hybridization, synthesis, re-designation and object transfer from one space into another.
