LC's conception of science/technology and art/creativity is embodied in the phrase "art is the communication of  science; science is the constraint of art," a topic both sides of which he explored in the realm of human-machine communication in works like Secret Lives of Machines and Machine Gaze.

Uli Muehe

 

Ph.D. in Philosophy, University of Kent, “I'm generally interested in anything to do with politics. Starting from the socio-ontological basis (where the topic gradually turns towards philosophical anthropology, theories of (social) action and personhood), through social theory (particularly theories of power, hegemony and networks) up to political theories, where I'm currently most intrigued by the trans-, international and global approaches (also e-governance). Since technology and science also affect the social and political terrain, I'm also interested in theories concerning these areas. All these fields are interlinked and these links are most revealing.”
