“Our communication network must be used as a tool of environmental education." – Phil Gietzen, Radical Software, Issue 1, 1970
We will resume our discussion about “open ended media systems” (Radical Software, Antfarm, John Cage and Fluxus being historical examples). We will discuss how the 1960s counterculture turned into today's cyberculture, we will consider the lessons learned and the warnings given.
