Kate Sloan establishes the role of the cybernetic concept of feedback as a defining factor in understanding works of art as behavioural, expanded well beyond the perimeters of what we consider cybernetic art. The book also demonstrates how light, as a behavioural trigger, informed several discrete areas of art making, from cybernetic art to countercultural light shows and behaviourist architectures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, technology studies, music history, architectural history, and design history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55513730482520,"sku":"9781032612317","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032612317_5cb764f6-d3d0-4805-ba98-41e98be3d244.jpg?v=1768419917","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/behaviourist-art-and-cybernetics","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
