Join Noumenist poet Jason W. Johnson as he launches his second collection of poetry The Night Watches, with Foreword by yours truly SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 2023 AT 2 PM Eastern • Book Launch for THE NIGHT WATCHES • Sunrise Books • High Point, North Carolina.
My paper entitled “Towards a new aesthetic: Noumenism and Noumenist poetics” has recently been published in issue 20.3 of Intellect’s well-established, peer-reviewed academic journal Technoetic Arts: A Journal of Speculative Research
I had the privilege of participating in the American Society for Cybernetics 2020 Global Conversation back in September. This event was held in coordination with the UK's Cybernetics Society’s virtual event “Cybernetics and the 21st Century: Stories of Practice,” and consisted of a series of live online conversations running across various time zones.
Another paper of mine entitled “The Destabilizing Cybernetics of Implausibility: The Anti-Anthropocentric Crisis” was published this month in Cybernetics & Human Knowing 26, nos. 2-3: 169-190. In it, I use an analysis of my own creative process to formulate the hypothesis that a feedback loop connects the music composer, the composition, and its percipients, moving them gradually away from humanocentricism.
What a conference! Creation as a result of change in perspective! Self-referential science! All after a reintroduction to basic cybernetic concepts. These are just some of the things dealt with in presentations and discussions at the American Society for Cybernetics 2018 Conference: “Framing Reality and How It Matters in a Shared World.”
