Event Description

Combining performance of knowledge and knowledge of performance, scholars and artists will perform a Cybernetics Cabaret.

Cybernetics is one of the emerging system sciences which takes as its domain the design, discovery, and application of principles of regulation and communication. Cybernetics treats not things but ways of behaving. It does not ask "what is this thing?" but "when is this thing?" and "what does it do?"
