Nelson Goodman's foundational work on aesthetics and symbol systems—particularly through Project Zero at Harvard, which he established in 1967—becomes crucial for understanding how artistic practices intersect with cybernetics and human-computer interaction within the course's frame. The readings invoke Goodman's theoretical legacy to anchor discussions of the "cybersemiotic experience," suggesting that his thinking about how symbols, systems, and meaning-making function provides essential scaffolding for analyzing how art and intelligent systems co-evolve. Though Goodman appears here primarily as an institutional and intellectual touchstone rather than through sustained theoretical engagement, his work enables the course to position artistic practice as a rigorous epistemological tool for navigating complexity.
