Self-Organizing Systems: rEvolutionary Art, Science, and Literature
Organized by Nicholas Gessler and Katherine Hayles
Free and open to the public
http://dma.ucla.edu/calendar/eventitem.php?ID=288
Speculation about spontaneous creation-of awareness, self-organization and evolution-have recurred across cultures, through time, and over space. In the last half-century, we have developed the alogrithmic and computational technologies that can bring life and form to these ideas-as digitally inspired reactive and intentional entities inhabitating galleries, laboratories, and literature. The Conference will bring together artists, humanists and scientists for panel discussions about the present and future of these trends.
Featuring (among others) Rudy Rucker and Simon Penny.
