Complexity Rising:
From Human Beings to Human Civilzation, a Complexity Profile

"A schematic history of human civilization reflects a growing complexity of the
collective behavior of human organizations. The internal structure of organizations
changed from the large branching ratio hierarchies of ancient civilizations,
through decreasing branching ratios of massive hierarchical bureaucracies,
to hybrid systems where lateral connections appear to be more important than the hierarchy.
As the importance of lateral interactions increases, the boundaries between subsystems become porous.
The increasing collective complexity also is manifest in the increaseing specialization and diversity of professions.
Among the possible future organizational structures are fully networked systems where hierarchical structures are unimportant."
- The New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI) by Yaneer Bar-Yam

"ALIVE AND ANALOG"
From pre-digital to post-digital: 40 years of electronic art and music [3/01/06]
Art, Technology, and Culture Colloquium @ UC Berkeley's Center for New Media, by Steve Beck

"...tools for image making, sound, music, and communications are mature and ubiquitous.
How do we use these tools wisely, and what might be their implications and consequences?
What becomes of visual language, sensory and optimal perception?
Will diffusion of analog motifs result?
Creative necessity propels artistic realizations and explorations via hybrid electronic technologies. "
