La Complessità come problema, sistema e risorsa
Pordenone, 23 Maggio 2018
Ore 09:30 - 17:30 presso Consorzio Universitario - Pordenone FVG
Se i problemi che ci assillano: ambiente, alimentazione, lavoro, povertà, salute, sono generati da una rete di fattori che si configurano in modo ricorsivo e sistemico, il pensiero abilitato alla loro soluzione sarà plausibilmente un pensiero anch’esso “a rete”. Il problema è che questo nuovo paradigma cognitivo che, in definitiva, è lo stesso che regola i processi in natura, non ci viene spontaneo m...

Generative art is a key example of a general transformation carried on by many disciplines, which are going to populate our world with increasingly different subjects.

Politics of the Machines: Art and After
The question of how the machine impacts and contextualizes artistic production and perception is the overall topic of this conference. Recent research on the impact of machines and technology on art places the machine in the centre of ‘ecologies’ (Fuller), ‘archaeologies’ (Parikka) and ‘aesthetics of interaction’ (Kwastek) pointing towards a ‘techno-ontology’ (Broeckmann).
