Abstract

Experiences from simulation studies of industrial control systems and performing art oriented human-machine installation suggest how cybernetics may benefit from art and vice versa. We argue for a constructive and analytic multi-focus on control and communication in the animal and the machine aiming at a close integration of art, science and technology. An industrial simulation project for the design of a new container terminal (harbour-logistics) and four public performances demonstrating human/machine interaction are presented: theater of machines, sensory garden and others. Possible impacts for systems design and mechatronics education are discussed
