As technology advances, our systems are growing more and more complex, reaching the threshold of what we can handle and even comprehend. We need more than tools to keep it under control. We need new ways of thinking.

Carin Meier explores new ways to approach systems and tame complexity for the rapidly changing future, from the massively parallel world of chemical programming to one completely designed by the computer itself with genetic algorithms and deep learning.
