[-empyre-] incompatible research practices - week 03 - feedback & control // language & curating

[Gabriel Menotti]

Dear all,

Thanks everyone for the manifold discussions last week, and especially
Marie for bringing up such rich material from her experience and
projects

This round will entail an interesting departure from the subjects of
noise and revolutions with the contributions of Lasse Scherffig and
Magda Tyzlik-Carver, which will move us to a wide range of topics that
include videogames, feedback, control, curating and language. Quite a
variantological week! =)

Lasse Scherffig studied cognitive science and digital media in
Germany, Switzerland and the USA. He has worked both in art and
science contexts, publishing on Cybernetics, interaction, location and
satellites and showing collaborative art projects at numerous
festivals and venues. He currently works at Lab3, Laboratory for
Experimental Computer Science at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne
(KHM).
