with Silvia Laurentiz, July 4th 2008
Watch the debate:
The multiple agents of a system, expanding until their limits of interaction, generate new and surprising patterns. Throughout the process they evolve catalytically without their planner – the artist, in this case – having total control over the effects unleashed. Case studies and new poetic experiments prove the advent of the phenomenon of emergence in the aesthetic field.
Also watch the lectures Emergence and Cybernetics, Emergence and Chaos and Emergence and Creativity.
