The fifth edition of Itaú Cultural’s international art and technology biennial closes the trilogy
of exhibitions inspired in cybernetics, the discipline that explores, in a broad sense, all of the
various possibilities of interaction among systems–which can be either machines or living
beings. Conceived in the second half of the last century, this field of study is empowered
today due to the current applicability of its suppositions concerning equilibrium, selforganization,
and interactivity.
This last show of the cycle takes for its central theme the concept of autonomy, which
characterizes systems, or artworks that possess the ability to establish a dialog with their
surroundings while also determining the rules for this interaction.
