A hand-drawn notebook sketch by Dulmini Perera from 2023 titled "Cybernetics and a Fishtank." The artwork depicts a complex, layered composition centered around an aquarium or fishtank viewed by two figures with glasses. The main aquarium scene shows underwater life with fish and coral, while one observer notes it "reminds me of the sun rising over a reef in the South Pacific." The drawing incorporates various conceptual elements including references to "Early Years of Cold War," "Perry St. New York," and connects to themes of cybernetics, systems thinking, and ecological observation. Around the central fishtank image are circular diagrams and annotations referencing concepts like "escalating positive feedback," "schismogenesis," and locations including "Iatmul New Guinea." The sketch appears to visualize interconnected systems and cybernetic principles through the metaphor of observing an aquatic ecosystem. The drawing style is informal and exploratory, typical of academic note-taking and conceptual mapping, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of cybernetic thinking that connects anthropology, ecology, and systems theory.

Dulmini Perera's text "Orders of change: Mary Catherine Bateson on ecological thinking, narrative practices and attending to worlds in transformation" was recently made open access. Enjoy it at Intellect Discover: doi.org/10.1386/tear...

This image shows an interaction between what appears to be two figures - one is a pale, white virtual avatar displayed on a screen or projection, and the other is a silhouetted person in black standing in front of it. The person's silhouette shows them extending their arm in a gesture toward the avatar, appearing to be engaged in some form of interactive performance or therapeutic session. The image represents Semi Ryu's work with embodied avatar performance (EAP), which explores healing rituals using virtual reality. The composition shows the "mirroring" concept mentioned in the description, as both figures seem to be engaged in a form of synchronized movement or interaction. The word "treee" is visible at the bottom of the projected display. The high contrast between the bright, ethereal avatar and the dark silhouette of the human participant creates a striking visual representation of the human-avatar interaction that Ryu's work investigates. The image was taken in 2016 and is credited as "VoicingElder" courtesy of Semi Ryu. This visual documentation appears to capture a moment of what the accompanying text describes as the "symbiosis between humans and avatars" through mirroring techniques, which is used in therapeutic contexts including work with cancer patients.

Since 2016, Semi Ryu's embodied avatar performance (EAP) has explored healing rituals at the intersection of arts, health and virtual reality (VR) involving a variety of individuals, including cancer patients. doi.org/10.1386/tear...

This image is a black and white photograph of a dense forest, featuring tall coniferous trees. The trees have thick, straight trunks and create a deep perspective into the forest. There are rocks or boulders scattered along the forest floor, and the ground appears to be covered in moss or other forest vegetation. Overlaid on the image is white text that reads "Re-embrace complexity." The image is credited as "Taming the Forest, 2022" and is noted as being a still from a video, courtesy of the University of Nova Gorica. The composition has a moody, atmospheric quality typical of black and white forest photography, with strong vertical lines created by the tree trunks and interesting interplay between light and shadow filtering through the canopy. The juxtaposition of the philosophical text about embracing complexity against the intricate natural setting of the forest creates an interesting conceptual relationship.

Written by Nikita Peresin Meden, Kristina Pranjić and Peter Purg "Taming the Forest" takes an interdisciplinary project as a case study for researching conflicting narratives of biodiversity. doi.org/10.1386/tear...

A close-up photograph of an artistic laboratory installation. The image shows circular petri dishes illuminated from above by specialized lighting equipment. The dishes appear to contain various cultures or organic materials, with one dish showing a crystalline or fungal formation glowing with a whitish-yellow hue. The setup includes metallic mounting hardware and support rails, giving it an industrial, scientific aesthetic. Shot from above at an angle, the image captures both the technical precision of the equipment and the organic nature of the specimens. Photo credit: Marte Vos, artwork by Saša Spačal.
