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.
