![• The media reception of Cybernetic Serendipity was on the whole extremely favorable.
In a review symptomatic of much press coverage, the Evening Standard enthused:
"Where in London could you take a hippy, a computer programmer, a ten-
year-old schoolboy and guarantee that each would be perfectly happy for an
hour without you having to lift a finger to entertain them?" [7] The Guardian
agreed that it "lured into Nash House people who would never have dreamed
of attending an ICA exhibition before" [8]. Cybernetic Serendipity promised fun for
the whole family, not just an elite of art connoisseurs. “Children, scientists and the
simply curious could spend fascinated hours in this world of computer
art" [9]. The press celebrated the exhibition as an event that "guaranteed to
fascinate anyone from toddling age to the grave" [10]. Even the writer in The
Lady felt compelled to urge that "one must go to the present exhibition at the
INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ARTS ... not to understand in the least what
is going on but to experience that particular tingle which is inherent in an act
of threshold-crossing” [11]. Art critic Jonathan Benthall declared that Cybernetic
Serendipity would be remembered as a "landmark," not least due to its "breeziness
and catholicity” [12]. Others agreed: "For breaking new ground, revealing new
fields of experiment, seminal importance, sheer hard work and enormous
organization, the exhibition Cybernetic Serendipity… is arguably the most
important exhibition in the world at the moment” [13]. According to Brent
McGregor, “the status of the event was such that Umberto Eco came from
Italy to view its wonders” [14]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/cybserendip20151025cut-151029101048-lva1-app6892/75/Cybernetic-Serendipity-reloaded-31-2048.jpg)

Cybernetic Serendipity, reloaded
The document outlines the agenda of the Cybernetic Serendipity Reloaded symposium, which explores the historical and future aspects of cybernetics. It emphasizes the interaction between humans and machines, the evolution of communication systems, and the impact of technology on societal structures. Additionally, it discusses the concept of serendipity in the context of technology, highlighting both positive discoveries and negative consequences influenced by online platforms.
