| Beschrijving item: | In the 1960s many artists, composers, musicians and architects began to embrace open systems that emphasize organism over mechanism, dynamic processes of interaction among elements, and the participants role as an inextricable part of aesthetic experience. This anthology traces radical shift from its roots in systems and information theories, cybernetics and artificial intelligence to current cutting-edge science. It also explores the ways in which system-based art projects can creat self-generating entities and networks, alter our experience of time, change the configurations of social relations, cross cultural borders and interact with threatened ecosystems. |
