Cybernetics Snacks is a virtual speaker series featuring fun, bite size and engaging talks from leading thinkers in the field of cybernetics.
In each 15-30 minute public chat, we invite all speakers to respond to the same four questions – but every speaker and every talk is completely different!
This Cybernetics Snacks recording was hosted by Dr Jess Herrington, futures specialist from the ANU School of Cybernetics, and featured Jonathan McCabe, a Canberra-based generative artist.
Join Dr Jess Herrington and Jonathan McCabe in the video below!#
