Kate Sloan establishes the role of the cybernetic concept of feedback as a defining factor in understanding works of art as behavioural, expanded well beyond the perimeters of what we consider cybernetic art. The book also demonstrates how light, as a behavioural trigger, informed several discrete areas of art making, from cybernetic art to countercultural light shows and behaviourist architectures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, technology studies, music history, architectural history, and design history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46931022905495,"sku":"9781032612317","price":12867.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032612317.webp?v=1771610533","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/behaviourist-art-and-cybernetics-mapping-a-field-9781032612317","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
