'Systems theory formed the DNA of much of experimental and technology-oriented art for the last fifty years. This magnificent collection brings together for the first time all essential readings by scientists, artists, art critics and social scientists - from Iannis Xenakis and Nam June Paik to Niklas Luhmann and Bruno Latour. If you want to understand where today's culture came from, you must read this.'
