During the 1940s and 1950s, a technoscientific movement was born: cybernetics. It played a decisive role in the emergence of a new representation of the world, based on concepts derived from thermodynamics. The information and complexity sciences that it gave rise to have completely reshaped ecology.
‘Cybernetics, the living and the city’ shows, from this initial impulse, how our relationship with the living and its integration in urban spaces have been transformed by computational technologies. The work is articulated around a 30-minute computer-generated short film, augmented by videos shown by eight holographic propellers, located on either side of the video projection.
The animated film recaptures the recent developments of eco-design and environmental renovation projects in a broader perspective concerning garden art and history, from the Renaissance to the present day, by showing what specific turn new technologies have given to the way we collectively think of living beings and the landscapes they inhabit.
