Description

The ASC’s 60th anniversary meeting took place in Washington, DC, between June 15 and 17, 2024 with two additional workshop days on June 18 and 19. All in all, there were more than 80 presentations.

The theme for the 60th-anniversary meeting of the American Society for Cybernetics considers language at play in the connections of pasts, presents, and futures. living cybernetics | playing language further suggests that cybernetic languaging, in all forms and media, shares a logic that is informed by understandings of processes of living as they exist and may exist. Playing is a means to reach out into possible futures, to initiate the not-yet-existent. In homage to past experiments in conversational framings of ASC conferences, the ASC’s 60th-anniversary meeting engaged in situational enactments of cybernetics at a variety of locations in Washington, DC, ranging from an arts center to the zoo.
