SIGNAL:NOISE
A four-day event, 13–16 January
2011
See full programme here
SIGNAL:NOISE is an experimental
cross-disciplinary research project that aims to explore the influence of
cybernetics and information theory on contemporary cultural life by testing out
its central idiom, ‘feedback’, through debates, performances, and
events.
Through the application of mechanical and
scientific models for the understanding of social and political life, cybernetic
theory – in particular notions of feedback – informed the development of many
early conceptual and participatory artistic practices in the 1960s/70s, yet its
influence is still under-recognized. Signal:Noise aims to bring together people
who are working with these ideas in the fields of art, design, architecture,
media and theory in order to open a discussion around this discourse, looking at
how it has informed cultural, social and political life, in the past and
present.
The project is lead by Steve Rushton, Dexter
Sinister (David Reinfurt and Stuart Bailey), Marina Vishmidt, Rod Dickinson and
Emily
Pethick.
An installation of Stephen Willats’ ‘Homeostat Wall Drawing’ (2008) will form a
backdrop to the
event.
Tickets: £15 for an Event Pass, or £5 for a Day
Pass, available here or on the door. If paying in advance, please bring your receipt with
you.
