Summary

Associate Professor Mattia Thibault, based at Tampere University, specializes in semiotics, gamification, and translation within the creative industries. His research focuses on intersemiotic translation practices, exploring how real objects translate into virtual realities and vice versa. Thibault challenges traditional views of translation, emphasizing its role in creating meaning. He critiques the tech-driven narrative around the metaverse, advocating for a multiverse scenario where multiple virtual spaces coexist. Thibault argues that technology evolves gradually, reshaping society in incremental ways rather than through sudden, dramatic shifts, similar to the unnoticed integration of robots into daily life.
