This book on Stephen Willats pulls together key strands of his
practice and threads them through histories of British cybernetics,
experimental art, and urban design. For Willats, a cluster of
concepts about control and feedback within living and machine
systems (cybernetics) offered a new means to make art relevant. For
decades, Willats has built relationships through art with people in
tower blocks, underground clubs, middle-class enclaves, and
warehouses on the Isle of Dogs, to investigate their current
conditions and future possibilities. Sharon Irish’s study
demonstrates the power of Willats’s multi-media art to catalyze
communication among participants and to upend ideas about
“audience” and “art.” Here, Irish argues that it is artists
like Willats who are now the instigators of social transformation.
