The Design Cybernetics Group at the SUSTech School of Design applies cybernetics to design and vice versa. Its members perform and investigate deliberate alternations between being in control and being out of control in the creative process. With a strong technological and computational yet qualitative focus, the group’s cross-disciplinary research extends across empirical design research, human-computer interaction, analog and analog/digital hybrid computing, dynamic systems modeling, computational geometry, computational optimization, toolmaking for design, and speculative product development. Relying heavily on Shenzhen’s digital design and manufacturing ecosystem, the group’s projects engage industry locally and internationally.
