    Welcome to C:ADM2010 We come together to take part in a conference where the main activity is to explore by listening, talking and questioning (conversing) rather than by listening to, and giving, prepared lectures: where the aim is to move forward, taking next steps as a result of these conversations, rather than reporting on the already discovered. In other words, this is a conference where the intention is to progress by conferring. That is the central feature of our conference: a conference of conversation, open minds and delight in the un-thought- of. And what better way to make an interesting conversation than to bring together people whose backgrounds and interests are different, yet who want to learn by listening to others, to find what can be shared? In other words, to transcend boundaries. So we are, by definition, practitioners and theorists from 4 different subjects, who explore across boundaries. But not just any 4 subjects. Subjects that already hold conversations together in pairs: art; cybernetics; design; mathematics. With all 4 together, we have a wider conversation, greater variety. Our 4 subjects have a special quality in common. Each is used to comment—throw light—on and inform other subjects. Perhaps mathematics is the most obvious case: a subject in its own right that is used everywhere to illuminate (and make operable) other subjects. But also a subject that can comment on itself: a subject which is a meta-subject, even to itself. Participants will undoubtedly hold individual positions in regard to these four subjects cybernetics, art, design and mathematics.

  • The Prospect of Interspecies Cybernetic Communication Between Humankind and Post-Humans Designed and Created for Space Exploration and Space Settlement
    Journal of Space Philosophy 6, no. 1 (Fall 2017) The Prospect of Interspecies Cybernetic Communication Between Humankind and Post-Humans Designed and Created for Space Exploration and Space Settlement By George S. Robinson Abstract This paper discusses the creation of a post human “species” and its subsequent communication and physical interactions, using cybernetic principles. It notes that (1) Homo sapiens sapiens (i.e., modern man/woman/humankind) made, and continues to make, significant strides in developing the technology for self-metabolizing, self- replicating, and self-evolving, technological post-humans; and (2) rapidly developing artificial intelligence in extremis will result in a unique and alien entity functioning both independently and as a representative of humankind off-Earth. It discusses the underlying design and program activity of Earth-bound humankind, i.e., transhumans, and then post- humans … and their self-evolving subsequent generations. It assumes that Homo sapiens sapiens can and will use rapidly evolving multi-fields of integrated technology to create a totally post human “species.” It focuses on a non-biotic species of technology; perhaps the incipient stage of self-replicating artificial intelligence in extremis on its own, totally technological evolutionary bush.1 Keywords: Cybernetics, cybernetic communication, transhumans, technological post humans, Metalaw, artificial intelligence (AI) in extremis. Introduction: The Next Frontier in Human Evolution? What? We’re taking ourselves off the bush of biotic evolution? Who really cares? Where is the fun in that? (Anonymous) Longfellow: “He builds too low who builds beneath the stars.” Cyril Ponnamperuma (American chemist and astrobiologist): “The division between life and non-life is perhaps an artificial one.” I.

    © Robert White Scott, 2011 AN INTELLECTUAL HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL FOR DESIGNING A SOCIETY BY ROBERT WHITE SCOTT DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Policy Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Antonia Darder, Chair Associate Professor Pradeep Dhillon Associate Professor Yoon Pak Assistant Professor Rebecca Ginsburg ABSTRACT This dissertation traces the roots of an experimental art school for social change called the School for Designing a Society. It focuses on the history of a group of intellectuals, and their ideas, during the latter half of the twentieth century. The composer Herbert Brün (1918-2000) formulated many of the original ideas used by the school in concert with his students and colleagues at the University of Illinois. This study focuses on how their ideas about composition led to the founding of a school. It begins with the turmoil of World War II, which influenced experimental artists such as Brün; the development of cybernetics as an interdisciplinary field; the attempt of Brün and cyberneticians to offer an experimental interdisciplinary course in 1968. As the 1960s faded out, a new crop of music composition students rallied around Brün. They formed an ensemble and renewed the bridge to cybernetics; the ensemble achieved a high level of professionalism and toured internationally. Elements of Marianne Brün’s course on Designing Society, and Susan Parenti’s skill at organizing an experimental arts ensemble led to a 1992 proposal to start a school. Members of the ensemble needed a discursive context to engage the political and social consequences of experimental art production.
