The subject of cybernetics is quickly growing and there now exists a vast amount of information on all aspects of this broad-based set of disciplines. This book concerns the phenomenon of art and the special problems that arise concerning art in our era which is almost unanimously regarded as unique, as the era when science and technology have, as never before, become the influence on human society. The aim of this book is to consider the two ways of perception and cognition of the world, two kinds and trends of man's spiritual life in their interrelation
