Brief: Cybernetic Self

This lecture was our first briefing entitled 'Cybernetic Self', it's a short 4 week brief in which our final output should be a a printed document; for example a supplement for a magazine.

The three main themes are network self, sociomaterial and autopoiesis.

Network Self

• self-presentation
• behavioural norms
• routines
• privacy
• social impact
• class/gender/race divides

Sociomaterial

• an ensemble of people, materials, equipment, components, institution
• how we are defined and perceived

Autopoiesis

• emotions
• interaction
• dependency
• self-making/self-poetry
• redefine the self
• perception

week 1 should be focused on idea generation,

week 2 is for formalising and developing our ideas,
week 3 we should aim to start our final output,
week 4 is to refine and finalise our supplements.
