A special thanks also to Richard Brook for the 'capitalism ate everything' closing remarks.

... for creating the frames and structures for the conference and for inviting me to deliver the opening keynote; to Martin Winchester for keeping things running. Thanks to all the speakers and track chairs who made the conference such an insightful event.

Joost Rekveld will talk about his recent artistic projects through the lens of the concepts "lightning empiricism" and "Darwinian machinery," which offers variant perspectives on the heuristic potential of physical devices and how media art can be a collaborative tool with forms of material agency.

Ken Rinaldo will then expand the influence of hybrid ecologies into his artistic practices encompassing human and nonhuman and how these artworks examine the coexistence of artificial and biological systems symbiotically.

Charissa N. Terranova's talk will explore how the terms "feedback" and "feedforward" are interwoven with the logics of circular causality by tracing the evolution from organicism to cybernetics and their impact on 20th century artscience.

Join us for an online event with art historian Charissa N. Terranova, and media artists Ken Rinaldo and Joost Rekveld, presenting their work (Saturday) and expanding conversations into topics of circularity, feedback, hybrid ecologies, and material agency in a panel discussion (Sunday).
