40 years ago, Jasia Reichart's exhibition "Cybernetic
Serendipity" showed that cybernetics, computing and art had
arrived.

40 years later, while computers and art remain, cybernetics
has nearly vanished, although there is a reviving interest
in art.

In celebrating Cybernetic Serendipity we have the chance to
re-open the debate, to reconsider the relationship
particularly between cybernetics and art, and to do so
taking into account the way that cybernetics has developed
during its period of near invisibility.

So what is new in cybernetics, and how can that inform art:
and, what is new in art, and how can that inform cybernetics.

This is a chance to reopen the connection, to explore again,
and to move beyond some of the current models taken from
cognitive science, computing, AI and AL, and complexity, to
the (much more radical) field of their origin, cybernetics.
