(This is the electronic mailing list for Analogous.)

Complexity theory is not new to art or to our culture. It migrated from computer science and biology to economics and art and, with the advent of the world wide web, it invaded our collective subconscious. Analogous seeks to support complexity-driven art and artists playing under this conceptual umbrella of "Interaction Art". Progress occurs by metaphor and analogy: Their hope is (by bringing together people and projects irrespective of media and genre) to enable philosophical crosstalk.

Current Analogous Projects include Action Potential (biomedical performance art exploring the concept of free will, in-development), Bread (a network-art community project donating to Millennium Villages), Epic Doom (generative video illustrating societal ills as emergent phenomena, in-development), LikeLike (a tape label and experiment in gift economy), Metis (an on-stage interaction between prepared text and improvised sound), NoPurchaseIsTheNecessary (a found-material easter-egg hunt turned microeconomy), Picky Sticky Pollen (colorful lawn game modeling living ecologies), ScrapCycle (a series of upcycled music performances and barter experiments), and Tin Can Telewalk (participatory soundwalk utilizing tin can telephones).

Analogous events and performances have been reviewed in The Wire, Make Magazine, Time Out New York, and The Village Voice. They received a Village Voice Best-of-NYC Award in October 2008 for "Best Arts Organization Centered Around Recycling".
