are complex systems showing self-organization and emergent behavior. Each system in the series has different collective behavior (generally non-hierarchical) which calls Andrew Pickering’s term ‘dance of agency’. The components in the “Putting the Pieces Back Together Again” is made of 1250 agents (stepper motor equipped with a pointer) which can interfere with one another consequentially. When one pointer touches the other it stops and turns to other direction. They interfere performatively with each other, they respond and some point reach the ‘equilibrium’. The system form spontaneous pattern and it constantly evolves new forms on the surface. Maybe they are not very reliable machines… but these machines define the outcome of the process as behavior (in Pickering’s terms). Baecker’s works reminds Ross Ashby’s Homeostat which also tries to establish a hyper stable equilibrium. | are complex systems showing self-organization and emergent behavior.

Verena Friedrich’s works make me sad because even she carefully builds the optimum suitable environments to prolong the lifetime of a candle or soap bubble, they eventually die. | Verena Friedrich’s works make me sad because even she carefully builds the optimum suitable environments to prolong the lifetime of a candle or soap bubble, they eventually die. | ||
