Cybernetics was defined in 1948 by Norbert Wiener as “the science of control and communication, in the animal and the machine” - basically, the theory of messages. As a reaction to an ever rapidly mutating technological world, the work in this series explores communication systems, from internal feedback loops within artistic practice and decision making strategies, to external ones. Observing how the printed image acts as one channel of communication, the analogue practice of collage operates as an inquiry into how this system is structured and interpreted, and how it shapes individual thoughts and actions. Presenting the work of art as a complex dynamic system, Nina demonstrates her artistic strategy through the daily creation of 21 collages, laying out the process open to analysis.
