Doing so gives us an opportunity to engage with speakers work ahead of time and will help support a more robust and lively discussion with our invited guests. Themes will include Systems Science and Industrial Management Histories of Modern Risk Cybernetics and Design Thinking Rethinking Cold War Science Historicising the Information Age and Cybernetics and the Psychology of Happiness.

Universitt Wien Universittsring 1, 1. Wien. Leaflet. Paul Pangaro writes To design our world has been the goal of every human generation since the first conversations for design occurred between mind and hand at the dawn of our species. This goal has enticed generations of cyberneticians from Heinz von Foerster, to Gordon Pask, Stafford Beer, Francisco Varela and Humberto Maturana, to Ranulph Glanville, at the least. They showed how the processes and epistemology of cybernetics impelled actions for designing that are ethical as well as effective. Their work charts a course toward a methodology of design practice that is grounded in formalisms of variety and feedback, language and conversation, intention with action. From their foundations, this lecture expounds cybernetics as design that is, learning by constructing together. This comprises design as conversation and design for conversation that is, cybernetics as conversation for action. International Metaphorum Conference Healing Organisations 1st 3rd November, 2. Liverpool, UKMark Johnson writes. This years conference makes an explicit connection between health, healthcare organisations and healing in organisations more generally. Present at this years conference will be key representatives from the international Healthcare sector, alongside keynote addresses by leading figures who have focused on systems interventions in healthcare and public services. Healing Organisations is an opportunity to make connections between Systems Theories like the Viable System Model and the practical problems of todays institutions. The conference website contains details of the call for papers and conference speakers. The conference will combine paper presentations with open workshops where connections can be made between practitioners from health and other sectors and specialists in management cybernetics and systems theoretical interventions.

Ben applies Cybernetics to his field of Archtecture and Design at the University of Brighton. The talk is in the context of a celebration of the work of Cedric Price with whom Pask first applied Cybernetics to Architecture for this unimplemented but influential project.

Cybernetics and Sculpture an in conversation with Roy Ascott. Wednesday, 8 March 6pm Henry Moore Institute, Leeds. Corinne Painter writes. Roy Ascott b. 1. UKs foremost cybernetic artist, having worked with cybernetic ideas since 1. In an extraordinary career spanning six decades, Roy has maintained his belief in cybernetic theory and its continuing relevance to contemporary life. It also informed his revolutionary Groundcourse, an art foundation course that incorporated cybernetics, behaviourism and play. Roy has been at the vanguard of art using technology during his career, but this use of technology is not the defining feature of his practice. Rather, it is his sustained interest in the field of human communication that led him to explore the potential of new technologies. Technology, Roy argues, is the product of desire it is there to fulfil a human drive. In this conversation with Kate Sloan, Roy will discuss his early work in relation to the living, communicative and biological identity of early cybernetics, concentrating on his education and early years, pursuing the interrelationships between cybernetics, biology and sculptural form.
