“…To some people, it comes as a surprise that Stafford Beer placed the Company in the category of his 'exceedingly complex' systems but, from my own experience, I know he was right. The challenge of finding appropriate ways of resolving, within interior environments, office user's seemingly irreconcilable demands for diversity versus conformity and flexibility versus stability underpins the conflicts that have to be faced up to and solved by procedures involving continuous feedback (Trickett 1992). Such paradoxes, alongside the necessity of acknowledging social needs as an ever changing process, serve to define the complexities of the Company, where order must somehow emerge from apparently unassailable diversity.…”

New media artists have the capability of driving forward innovation on major issues of the day. 'Exceedingly complex' systems (eg. the brain) provide examples of how the inevitable pitfalls and breakthroughs that occur in processes of discovery are of direct concern to new media artists as well as to the scientists, engineers, sociologists and technologists that may be involved. This paper reveals that, in this digital age, the creative processes of art and science are similar to the point of being virtually synonymous. It's this fact that underpins how, through the European Commission's S+T+ARTS (Science + Technology + Arts) initiative and opportunities offered by the Commission's programmes of research and innovation, new media artists can both generate and develop, in cooperation with their scientific and technological counterparts, transformational projects concerned in the exceedingly complex issue of climate change.New media art.

The IFIP Technical Committee 9 Working Group "Computers and Work" was founded upon the recognition that computerisation poses significant opportunities and threats for those who work with information and communications technologies. It was in 1977. Since its inception the WG seeks to understand and advance the interests of workers throughout the design and use of computer systems. This was due to the work of Harry Braverman [1974] who stated that computerisation could establish a new relation of power within organisations. In this perspective the computerisation of work was seen as a threat for the workers. The introduction of IT could lead to dislocation, de-skilling and less influence on their own work. It aims at the exploitation of living human labour. In consequence new concepts of human work and qualification have to be
