Special issue on the theme 'complex' at M/C Journal
The latest edition of M/C Journal features an article by Karen Cham & Jeffrey Johnson entitled Complexity Theory; a Science of Cultural Systems ?
Karen Cham argues that complex systems are cultural systems. She traces the developments within interactive digital media and industry design practice to illustrate the relationship between art and complex systems. This relationship is epitomised by the possibilities inherent within interactive media for experimentation and innovation. Drawing on post-structural, science and art theory, Cham and Johnson suggest that digital mediums serve as a model that highlights the nature of complex adaptive systems.

Lots of good ideas and leads in this blog. Thanks. I am interested in both the cultural/artistic side of complexity and the business/institutional aspects of the discussion. It isn't a dichotomy, of course, but for the sake of economy, I've defaulted to that all-too-common shorthand.
