Ants, Agents and Automatons

1.00 credits · Undergraduate

Ants, Agents and Automatons examines the human fascination with machines that behave. This studio course amplifies systems thinking as a creative process while pushing back against the dominant narratives of art history. Through the long history of machine, ecological and cybernetic theories, students will engage in creative and conceptual explorations of robotic (hardware) agents, automatons and simulated systems.
