YASMIN Discussion: Around Simulation

We extensively use and live in simulation. In our everyday life we imagine situations, events, projects and project them into the future: we simulate possible worlds and test them in a sort of permanent "what if" situation, which is continuously reworked and modified. This process has been methodologically formalized in the sciences, where we build models and simulations, which try to describe facts, events and phenomena. Models and simulations have a very important cognitive role in knowing and understanding the world we live in. In January and February 2010 the YASMIN Group will discuss simulation, its layers of construction, its conflicts, its power relations and more. Find out more
