In 1968 the artist and writer Jack
Burnham prophesised that, "a Systems Aesthetic will become the dominant approach
to a maze of socio-technical conditions rooted only in the
present."
The symposium investigates this
claim by responding to, provoking and presenting a sustained discussion on
systems-theory and art. Speakers discuss art's relationship to the operation of
social systems, provide the basis for an account of the diverse art practices
that occur after modernism in terms of a systems aesthetic and explore a
definition of artistic media which is not materially
specific.
