− | This year the theme is "cybernetics", so it is all about exploring regulatory systems — in biological organisms, in the political economy, and in networked technology. What do living creatures and complex systems have in common? How do organic and electronic feedback loops function? What kind of forms emerge from self-organized systems, and how can we use algorithms to generate forms, to make and break patterns? To what extent do we as humans have the potential to control systems? Cybernetics is a transdisciplinary approach for exploring regulatory systems — their structures, constraints, and possibilities. Norbert Wiener defined cybernetics in 1948 as "the scientific study of control and communication in the animal and the machine."

Digital Crafts fall 2018
Q 9 & 10
Tutors:
Ivan, Shailoh, Javier
Introduction
Welcome to Digital Crafts! From September to December, you will be introduced to a wide range of skills, issues, critical perspectives and concrete examples relevant to the emergent field. Classes are held on Thursdays and Fridays. The rest of the week is reserved for independent working on your projects (one self-directed project per workshop). Third and forth year students will be working on similar themes, but each have different deadlines and assignments.
Communication
Click here to join the Slack Channel for all communication for the different groups in 2018-19. Please join before the start of the first class to get important information about the schedule. Besides "general" and "#random", please join the appropriate group channel #thirdyears18-19 or #minor-graduation18-19.
Cybernetics: working with self-organizing systems
This year the theme is "cybernetics", so it is all about exploring regulatory systems — in biological organisms, in the political economy, and in networked technology. What do living creatures and complex systems have in common? How do organic and electronic feedback loops function? What kind of forms emerge from self-organized systems, and how can we use algorithms to generate forms, to make and break patterns? To what extent do we as humans have the potential to control systems? Cybernetics is a transdisciplinary approach for exploring regulatory systems — their structures, constraints, and possibilities. Norbert Wiener defined cybernetics in 1948 as "the scientific study of control and communication in the animal and the machine." In the 21st century, the term is often used to imply "control of any system using technology." In this course, we will be exploring the complex relationships between humans and machines, nature and technology. In reference to the seminal article, Metadesign, by Chileans biologists and philosophers Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela, the authors affirm that the solution is not the technology, but how it is designed.
We seek to challenge you to become critical of technology, and able to use technology to express critique. Every solution creates new problems: how will you position your work in a broader political, social and ecological context? How can you express critically the (use of) technology in your research and development?
Before the Christmas break, you will have developed a number of small group projects, and a final project in the form of a stand-alone presentation, with accompanying research documentation.
Deliverables
Each project will have a packaged wiki page with proper documentation/ contextualization of the project. During the mid-semester review, your will need to discuss your direction for the final quarter.
- Project 1: Critical Making exercise
Reimagine an existing technology or platform using the provided sets of cards. Presentation 13 september.
- Project 2: Cybernetic Prosthetics: in small groups, you will present a cluster of self-directed works as a prototype of a new relationships between a biological organism- and a machine, relating to our explorations on reimagining technology in the posthuman age. The prototypes should be materialized in 3D form, and simulate interactive feedback loops that generate emergent forms.
For 3 year students, this first project can be speculative and rudimentary. The technology doesn't have to fully work yet, but the idea should be communicated through the prototype and appropriate documentation. (max 5 people per group).
For 4th year students in the minor, you need to take the project to the next level as a fully functional work.
DEADLINE / presentations: 27 September
- Project 3: From Devices to systems: sensors and sensitivity training. You will open the 'black box' of a technical device in an anatomical machine learning lesson, and you will also dissect and analyse a concrete instance of a complex system at work. How do devices and networked systems interact? Document and research all of the parts, how they work, where they come from. Redesign and add new circuits. Put it back together with a new function and added sensor feedback loops. The basic electronics should be fully functional.
DEADLINE: 11 October
- Project 4: Cartography of Complex Systems & the Anthropocene: How is technology linked to economic, political and ecological wicked problems and human-made catastrophes? Where is a line out? How to break the feedback loops? How is the supply chain linked to the device you are working with? Pick a problem or issue to analyze and engage with a complex ecological system. This is a visual mapping assignment, which should be accompanied by a text of max 1000 words.
DEADLINE: 2 November
Final project you will present your research question, your planning, and a conceptual and technical experiment for a final project that will be included in a self-organized stand-alone presentation in December 2018. You will intensely explore and develop over the last 6 weeks to present in the end term exhibition.
