Abstract

One new approach to the communication sciences is to analyze them as sciences of the artificial. This involves the consideration of the internal dynamic aspect of the communication sciences from the viewpoint of sciences of the artificial as well as the study of the applied dimension of the communication sciences from the perspective of the sciences of design. Thereafter, the complexity in the communication sciences is taken into account. In this regard, the focus is on the case of Digital Terrestrial Television. The modes of complexity in the communication sciences are seen in the television programming.
