organic computing?

There is a joint lecture series on “selforganization of complex systems”. It uses tele-teaching systems of the participating universities:
Friedrich-Schiller-University of Jena, Technical Univerity Ilmenau, Bauhaus University Weimar, and Univerity Leipzig.
topics range from the mathematics of selforganization ant organic computing to self organization in social contexts and and evolutionary algorithms.

Die tödliche Doris was a 7 year long art project in the end 80ties. It consisted of a group of (usually 3) people( Wolfgang Müller, Nikolaus Utermöhlen und Chris Dreier/Dagmar Dimitroff/Tabea Blumenschein and then Käthe Kruse ) who did Multimedia art performances.
