THE PSIBERNETIC ARCH (ASCOTT, Roy 1970 CHAPTER 5 pg 162-169) 

In the West, also, research on psi has been consistent, if limited. But, recently, work with a machine that automatically generates random events has yield valuable results, enough for the New Scientist to have finally accepted the validity of the ESP hypothesis, where formerly much controversy has reigned.2 Dr.Helmut Schmidt who did the work at Boeing Scientific Research laboratories in Seattle has now joined Rhine’s laboratory. However, it is Herman Kahn at the Hudson Institute, New York, who has captured the public’s imagination with his predictive systems [Kahn and Wiener 1967]. These rely, not on psychic perception or clairvoyance of an occult kind, but on raw Cartesian procedures of assembling hard facts and extrapolating into the long-term futures scenarios that have a real economic and political value to the U.S. government and the big corporations. His task is not to predict the future but to sketch alternative futures. Prediction, control, and communication; human behavior; process and system; organisation and entropy. What does this all add up to, and how is it relevant to art?
