> Gregory Bateson, author of Steps to an Ecology of Mind, was a seminal
> thinker of the twentieth century. Working across disciplines,
> including biology, psychology, anthropology, and ecology, he
> participated in the conferences that spawned the science of
> communications and control known as cybernetics. In his writings,
> Bateson used cybernetic thinking to address a range of topics
> including alcoholism, family dynamics, schizophrenia, technology,
> peacemaking, learning, and art. As a part of the bi-coastal Bateson
> centennial conference, we will explore the interplay between Bateson's
> ideas about art and the realities of artmaking today. We will
> re-examine ideas such as "relational aesthetics", “environment” and
> "ecology”, by way of Bateson’s emphasis on context, relationship,
> pattern and communication. Gregory Bateson thought art could be a
> shortcut to ecological sanity. The New York City chapter of this
> Bateson centennial conference will explore this notion of art in
> depth. We will hear from artists whose work has been directly
> influenced by Bateson, and from artists whose work has not been
> explicitly influenced by Bateson, but whose engagement with whole
> systems, circuitry, communication, organization and ecology, overlaps
> Bateson's work.

> Including:

> ● Presentations by Betty Beaumont, Frank Gillette, Paul Ryan and

> ● Virtual presentations by Mary Catherine Bateson, Carol Wilder and
