la cibernética se centra en los sistemas físicos y sociales los cuales se ven afectados y luego se adaptan a un ambiente externo; se centra en funciones de control y comunicación: ambos fenómenos externos e internos del sistema.
Esta capacidad es natural en los organismos vivos y se ha imitado en máquinas.
Cybernetics is most applicable when the system being analysed is involved in a closed signal loop; that is, where action by the system causes some change in its environment and that change is fed to the system via information (feedback) that causes the system to adapt to these new conditions: the system's changes affect its behavior. This "circular causal" relationship is necessary and sufficient for a cybernetic perspective
Funktionide
The work is based on an intensive three months research with professional partners in Germany and Switzerland into artificial muscles. It reflects upon how new technologies such as artificial muscles will change future products, and the way we interact with them.
The results of that research led to the conclusion that one day active materials will drastically change our ambient products and the way we perceive and interact with them. By morphing their shape these products will gain new dimensions. Products of the future will be "alive".
One of those future products is the so called „Funktionide“. It is a white amorphous object whose intention is to provide the owner with an atmosphere of presence to counteract feelings of loneliness. In a future filled with multi-dimensional products it is likely that people will eventually turn towards them for emotional satisfaction.
The works intention is to provoke a discussion which enables us to question how much we want technological products to satisfy our emotional desires. To ask these questions will become part of the responsibility of future product design.click for all videos on vimeo eltopo it really worth it
