System Thinking allows artists to break free from representational constraints and instead engage with complex relations, feedback processes, and aesthetics distributed across various media systems. In this course you will learn to apply different thinking strategies to explore ideas around information, interactive exchange, feedback loops, participation and systemic relationships. This will allow the investigation and creating of real and imaginary experiences.

This studio will encourage you to explore a wide range of systems by looking at things and people in the context of their relationships with each other and other systems, rather than in isolation. These will include systems found in nature and human systems, and will address the way they define preconceptions and established patterns. The Systems Thinking studio will serve as a discursive, experimental playground, encouraging you to confront ideas and traditions, to challenge existing systems through disruption and interference, and redefine environments, relationships and concepts within a wider social system.
