This book focuses on two key aspects of Willats’ art. Cybernetics, the control of dynamic systems, in which he has taken a keen interest, serves him as method, aesthetic vocabulary, as well as a formal model. Subcultures that promote non-conformism and self-determination constitute another focal point in his wide-ranging work. The book offers a new approach to Willats’ art from multiple different perspectives. A comprehensive selection of both earlier and more recent works, some of them published here for the first time, is complemented by essays. The authors investigate that particular creative sphere in between cybernetics, architecture, and subculture within which Willats questions normative, regulating power structures and aims to discover personal freedom and alternative thought patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdited by\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeike Munder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthors:\u003cspan\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBronac Ferran, John Kelsey, Andrew Wilson und Heike Munder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGerman\/ English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 978-3-85881-648-1\u003cbr\u003eMay 2019\u003cbr\u003eHardcover, 20 x 27 cm\u003cbr\u003e230 pages, images: 89 color und 158 b\/w\u003cbr\u003eDesign: Studio Marie Lusa\u003cbr\u003ePublished by Scheidegger \u0026amp; Spiess\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":17506114469939,"sku":"","price":58.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0071\/3434\/7315\/files\/190410_US_Willats_test_11c8a027a6cfc68aa6f6aebe78c41f54.jpg?v=1775029226","url":"https:\/\/shop.migrosmuseum.ch\/en\/products\/stephen-willats-languages-of-dissent","provider":"Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
