Ars Electronica 2019 panel ‘Poetic Systems’ with Urs Hirschberg

Sunday September 8th 2019,  10:00 am – 12:30 pm
Postcity, FutureLab, Ars Electronica Linz

The panel discussion Poetic Systems looks at system-theoretical approaches at the nexus of art and architecture. Where can system theory, a sociological concept, be applied outside of its original discipline? Which dimensions are opened up by artistic research, an artistic viewpoint or Art Thinking in combination with system theory – and which new points of intersection emerge? Speakers with backgrounds in sociology, architecture, art and scientific research gather here to share their insights on this topic.

Speakers:

• Liselott Stenfeldt, Alexandra Institute
• Mara Balestrini, Ideas for Change
• William Carpenter, Kennesaw State University
• Urs Leonhard Hirschberg, Graz University of Technology 

Moderated by: Stefan Mittlböck-Jungwirth-Fohringer, Ars Electronica Futurelab
