October 29,1998:<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Tom Breidenbach, Mark Daniel Cohen, Jonathan Goodman, and Sharon Lattig.<\/p>\n

Moderated by Victoria N. Alexander. The new sciences have made us realize the degree to which chance is both a principle of continuity as well as discontinuity. Regularity and structure do not necessarily bespeak the tyranny of some a priori principle. Order can evolve over time by chance operations being played out against a ground of accumulated structures. Unfortunately, much of the art today eschews the kind of complexity we find everywhere else around us. Dactyl Foundation has organized this panel in order to provide a forum for discussing the advances in science that insist that we take another long hard look at our aesthetic principles. The panel includes art reviewers who are also artists themselves, as well as poets\/artists who have a science background.<\/p>\n
