The Cybernetics Society

Cybernetics studies the common features of large complex systems, with apparently purpose-like behaviour.  This involves understanding concepts such as feedback and self-organisation.

The Cybernetics Society is an organisation which explores how cybernetics can be used to understand a wide range of interdisciplinary subjects ranging from Artificial Intelligence, the Internet, the sciences, engineering, design, system organisation, consciousness, architecture, ecology, biology, psychology, and medical topics etc.

The Cybernetics Society was founded in the UK and is regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority, but has members worldwide.  We hold on-line events on a roughly monthly basis and an annual in-person conference.   We also publish a peer reviewed journal, Enacting Cybernetics. Please see the sections below for more information.

Enacting Cybernetics

Enacting Cybernetics is an open access journal published by the Cybernetics Society. It is focused on exploring and developing the many ways in which cybernetics may be practiced in the world. The journal invites contributions that engage deeply with cybernetics, its possibilities, histories, and practices, and especially those that develop its radical transdisciplinarity in tangible ways.
