Artificial systems, new media art, interaction design, critical practicesAbstract
Art and design in the digital age are closely linked to systemic models and structures both formally and discursively. The research takes this type of hybridization between art and science (systems studies) as a starting point to investigate about the activation, reconfiguration or creation of complex systems as an artistic resource. This article analyses the possibilities of creating disobedient discourse by overlapping and problematizing the political ontologies of normative systems at this confluence. The research builds on the Leverage Points approach by American environmental scientist D. H. Meadows to dissect the various ways of producing significant experience and disruptive semantics used by contemporary artists and designers.Downloads
