„feedback is a parasitic or mediating circular function“
michael serres
imagine a building as a living organism – a corpus with skin, organs, body functions. this organism has senses, a consciousness,
a memory. a building is an archive. history left traces on its substance, heavy weathers, usages. changes impregnated
it with mechanical forces, smells and noises. like a membrane – it resonates with its environment.
a single string is installed straight between the floor and the frame of the roof-light construction.
this string is activated only by the sonic energy picked up by a sensor from the building structure itself.
feedback is information about actions returned to the source of the actions.
feedback increases the power of a signal – also its unintended properties.
system parameters will typically accelerate towards extreme values, which may damage or destroy the whole system.
