Six Levels of Interpersonal Organisation

At the exhibition from October 20, 2017 to February 4, 2018

Exhibited for the first time, »Six Levels of Interpersonal Organisation« depicts decision-making processes which involve the viewer in a feedforward heuristic that is analogous to a computer program. The work addresses states of society and network building principles by asking the audience how an individual or a group of people might build relationships. Starting from a state of isolation, the piece demonstrates how a society can reach a state of connectivity and mutuality.

The work is guided by the idea that numerous different types of relational systems can be created according to principles of feedback, control, and communication. The work has a quantitative component inherited from information theory and cybernetics, but is primarily an analytical and philosophical tool for creating societal relations. It depicts a systems theory for human relationships.
