Program Six: Information (The Ecstasy of Numbers and Reality)

Friday, November 5, 1993

Outline

Information is a formal abstraction that arises through the systematic structuring of numbers. In this sense, then, the electronic medium of the computer can be described as a medium that reproduces and communicates these formal abstractions in mass, high-speed form. Program Six first asked whether “ecstasy” and “reality” are contained in a morphology of numbers and then went on to consider the reality brought into being by “information as a world view.”

Speakers: TAKI Koji (art critic) and KATSURA Eishi (documentation and information studies specialist)
