Art and Complexity
Edited By: J. Casti and A. Karlqvist
The concept of “complexity” is a lot like other informal but very useful everyday notions like “truth,” “beauty,” “love,” and “justice,” residing as much in the eye of the beholder as in some objective, platonic realm beyond space and time. But there is an emerging science of complex systems, which is often termed the “science of complexity,” suggesting a formalization of what we mean by “complexity” in objective, mathematical, and computational terms. So it’s of more than passing interest to investigate whether a formal notion of complexity accords with what practitioners of the more humane arts, such as literature, painting, poetry, and music mean by a work of art being complex. With this exploration of the interface between complexity and art as the leitmotif, the Swedish research agency, FRN, sponsored a one-week workshop to bring together complexity scientists interested in art and artists interested in complexity to exchange views of the issue of how complexity and art fit together.
