DAG is Andrea Flamenco and Gabriel Bach.”At a time when the convergence of computation and biogenetics is ushering all of us into the so-called post-human era, an immanent future that is destined to be filled with various forms of biogenetic mutation at every level of the organic and the inorganic, ranging from transgenic mutation of crops to the synthesis of new forms of species including human clones, that constitutes the cultural universe of humanity while simultaneously enveloped by what, currently, is referred to as the inevitable emergence of a global ubiquitous computing system that connects everything with everything imaginable […]”

InfraNet Lab

“InfraNet Lab is a research collective probing the spatial byproducts of contemporary resource logistics. The laboratory posits the argument that a body of unique built works continues to arise out of the complex negotiation of, and competition for, biotic and abiotic resources. Operating in a manner similar to infrastructures, these works have evolved to merge landscape, urbanism, and architecture into a sophisticated mutant assemblage of surfaces, containers, and conduits.”

Breath of Complexity

a collection of complex systems by Jared Tarbell, including complexity in nature, iteration, combination, feedback, attractors, fractals, binary networks, or complex structural forms.

brain cell, the universe

reminds me of “linked: how everything is connected to everything else and what it means” by Albert-Laszlo Barabasi. he describes various forms of networks on various scales and it becomes obvious that many networks, no matter how or how small are sharing same characteristics in regard to growth, structures, behavior, or connectivity.

“ His (Whitehead) theoretical investigations led him to conclude that process produces, elaborates, and maintains the form or structure of material and organisms and that it consists of a complex series of exchanges between an organism and its environment. form and behavior emerges from process. thus process has priority over product - both ontologically and epistemologically.
While the implications of this line of reasoning can be extended to design research, the processist view suggests that understanding form is not as important as understanding the process in which form is embedded. form and behaviour emerge from process of complex systems.
if we broaden whitehead’s theories to include a computational approach, algorithms can be construed as processes.
