1. The Face by Dürer: Intermedial Genealogies of German Physiognomic Science from Printed Book to Digital Art Bridged through an Online Keyword Thesaurus

   From a theoretical framework of cognitive semiotics, emotion history, and image science, Schiller’s scholarship focuses on the media genealogies of physiognomy, the science of facial expression, and digital biometrics. He analyzes how artists and scientists use media to interpret from the outside physiological behavior of the face the psychological phenomena inside an individual; the visual rhetoric of these methodologies; and how face images can inform display rules, social scripting, and truth claims for emotion in society. Schiller is also an internationally exhibited artist. Across the media genealogies of physiognomic science in the German-speaking countries, artists researching at the intersection of art, science, and technology have from the “form” [Greek physis] of the face “interpreted” [gnṓmōn] characteristics such as temperament and emotion.
