UCCS -IASP (ICORE) Event:  Complex Systems on the Move; part I and part II

Part One:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdd66AiZXNo&t=1618s

Part Two:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhnFb7nptsg&t=2417s

Presented:  June 4, 2021

This video shows the first IASP (ICORE) Symposium presented by Dr. SK Semwal and the Executive Committee of IASP.  Multiple presenters will discuss topics pertaining to Complex Systems, research and future work.

Complex Systems defined:  components in our everyday world, such as climate, animal life, and human issues, and how they work with initiatives in our world such as natural resources, communication, and electronic systems. 

UCCS-IASP and UCCS Honors Program Presents:  New Media Series ARK:  A Critical Approach to Virtual Reality

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjo0-maKR84&t=2817s

Presented:  September 10, 2021

In collaboration with UCCS VAPA and GMI programs, and Colorado College.  Dr. Kathryn Hamilton and Dr. Deniz Tortum.

ARK is a series of works that consider the relation between computational thinking and the climate crisis.  ARK is a 2-channel video and sound installation that considers the nascent 3D archive of objects and beings and considers their impact on the physical world.  Shadowtime, a Virtual Reality (VR) experience, places the development of virtual reality aesthetics against the ongoing collapse of the environment, and examines how VR technology stands in for, and distracts from loss and absence in the physical world.

Abstract: Complex non-linear systems are often characterized as linguistic and mathematical systems that fascinate insofar as their input and output are incommensurate. A great deal of attention has been given to these types of non-linear systems and they have been described or characterized even by those who are not linguists or a mathematicians. In their work, the Nobel laureate Ilya Prigogine and the philosopher of science Isabelle Stengers reformulate the world as open, complex, probabilistic, and temporally irreversible, particularly as it applies to the macroscopic scale, the scale of atoms, molecules and biomolecules. This came out of the conclusion that new, dynamic states of matter may emerge from thermal chaos when a system interacts with its surroundings. These ideas can be traced back to the Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius (99-55 BCE) who referred to this as the clinamen, a spontaneous, unpredictable deviation that describes turbulence, irregular on the macroscopic scale, but highly organized microscopically. This paper examines sources of the concept of complexity including philosophy, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology.
