cybernetics |ˌsībərˈnetiks|
plural noun [treated as sing. ]
the science of communications and automatic control systems
in both machines and living things.
We use systems every day, and every system may be described and advanced using cybernetic principles. Your final project is meant to be an investigation into something that interests you and is related to cybernetics in some way. Consult the definition above if you have any questions about what exactly cybernetics is. Any investigation into a system (be it natural, cultural, or technical) will be relevant to this class. Use what you have learned in this class to design an approach to explore the subject or your project.
The proposal should be a paragraph that describes a project you would like to do. This may be something you make, an investigation, or an intervention into an existing system. You may work within your metier or outside. We will use your proposal to measure your success in the actual project, so make sure that you are able to do what you propose. Projects are due in the last week of class when you will present them to your classmates.
I am available for technical and critical help. Please don't hesitate to contact me at any time!
