BIOLOGICAL LIFE AND POLITICAL CYBERNETICS

This (hybrid) workshop seeks to understand how today’s cybernetic thinking explicitly and implicitly, through science and the use of new technologies, impacts our political systems. We look forward to discuss how cybernetic concepts have shaped our thinking about politics and the way humans have built political institutions in the digital age.
