- The monograph is the first full-length study of the early career of Roy Ascott, one of the first cybernetic artists. Developed from extensive new archival research, the study provides close analysis of Ascott's interests in communication across contexts of art, science and engineering in post-war Britain. It contains detailed investigation of Groundcourse, his pedagogical model for visual arts and cybernetics, drawing in behaviourism, analogue machines, performance and games - a model of particular current interest across both art practice and pedagogy. First published in 2019, the monograph was translated for publication in China in 2020.
