Question and Answer Session

The panel discussion brought together Andrew Pickering, Peter Cariani, and Paul Pangaro for an exchange with the audience on the intersection of cybernetics and creative practice. Participants explored how cybernetic principles of feedback, emergence, and interaction apply to artistic creation, audience engagement, and the design of interactive technologies.

The discussion ranged across topics including the role of uncertainty in creative processes, the relationship between human agency and machine behavior, and the potential for cybernetic frameworks to inform new forms of collaborative art and design. The session highlighted the enduring relevance of cybernetic thinking as a bridge between technical and humanistic disciplines.
