Constructivism, Design, Cybernetics: Radical, Social, 2nd-order, Urbana, IL, USA29 March-1 April 2007
This is to be a working conference for creating a three-way bridge spanning the thought and practice of:
- •
radical constructivism – that the reality we describe and perceive arises from our manner of living as perceivers and describers;
- •
social (architectural, artistic) design – deliberate and improvised actions and structures that define and perturb what we call the social (aesthetic), and what we distinguish as their consequences;
- •
(second-order) cybernetics – an interdisciplinary weave of intellectual pathways connecting feedback, circular causality, self-organization, self-reference, cybernetics of cybernetics, taking ourselves into account.
Call for papers, performances, displays, symposia, workshops.
Registration: $50; $25 student/unwaged.
