Habemus Data. Digital Culture And Free Information

Teresa De Feo
A close step far from the counter-reformation of the 'gag law', stirred by the fear of our politicians who are frightened of losing control on the information flow or of a excessive overexposure of privacy and details, we caught the opportunity to go back on the matter of Open Data.

In The Beginning Was Cybernetics. Relation Between Science & Artists

Teresa De Feo
What relationship is there between digital art and cybernetic science? Surely more than one can imagine. The concept of the system, the research of process patterns, the importance of interconnections and the relationship between system and environment (be it a machine or living organism), the centrality of information, the phenomenon of retroaction and self-management, the importance of code, are the terms of cybernetic research, but it could also be said that this is true for the research of any artist who works with new technologies....
