When Cybernetics meets Aesthetics
Edward A. Shanken (US)
When Cybernetics Meet Aesthetics is the title of a conference that will bring the revaluation of cybernetics to bear as a potentially decisive
contribution to the dialog focused on the necessary redefinition of the
status of media art. Can the ever-more-blatant contrasts between the “two cultures” attain convergence in artistic work with media? Can the modern-day “art of complexity” of simulating social networks, natural
systems of rules, and the dynamics of feedback effects at work in the
economy be understood as cybernetic processes? Which current prospects are opened up by reviewing the theory and practice of the cybernetic art of the 1950s and ‘60s?
With: Claus Pias (DE/AT), Barbara Büscher (DE), Stefan Rieger (DE), Margit Rosen (DE),
Cornelius Borck (DE/CA), Edward A. Shanken (US), Jasia Reichardt (UK)
