Perhaps the way to deal with the relationship between Society, Art and
Technology can be found through the development of the following themes:
2.0 Cooperation through Dialogue (People (often) need People):
(we are social animals with complex emotional needs)
(Many hands make light work)
(dependant and independant dependencies)
(The need for safe spaces where a range of new ideas can develop)
(The need for organisational rules?)
(
Websinig & Kuro)
3.0 What goes around -comes around (The Chicken and the Egg):
(problem Solving and Karma)
(People are often part of the problem that they are trying to solve)
("mirror" needed to allows us to see the results of our own
actions more clearly -so we can understand things better)
(Art as Formal System)
5.0 Understanding, Exploring and Developing the Relationships between Things (
The Computability Problem):
(Culture as Algorithm)
(Art as Theraputic Simulation)
(Simulation -a tool for testing Algorithms)
(The need to understand the complexities of the complete space)
(
Random Ramblings Concerning Art)
6.0 Developing and Maintaining a Dynamic Balence (
The Aesthetic Equilibrium):
(Language as Logic)
(Grammar as Control system)
(Finding the balence between Differences and Transitions)
If the above is a good analysis of the
complex problem space involved in relating Society, Art and Technology
-then all the
various other bits and pieces of the puzzle should relate
to one (or more) of the above......
