RUNNING THROUGH CYBERNETIC MEADOWS
Glasgow School of Art Degree show, 2025.

Agnes Little’s degree show work, titled ‘Running Through Cybernetic Meadows’ (a phrase taken from a poem by Richard Brautigan), explores cybernetic feedback loops between artist and machine through a series of runs.

The work consists of monitors showing CCTV documentation of a performed run through the Stow Building, where sensors attached to arduino computer units at certain checkpoints offered a new randomised direction.

Another aspect of the work is a typeface made in collaboration with designer Lydia Harris, who coded a website that would offer Little a random direction when prompted, and Little carried out 26 runs which were then assigned to a letter in the alphabet to create a code. Along with this, in the space a computer is set up connected to an arduino unit and a sensor, that when triggered offers a new randomised direction on the monitor display.
