“Designed to be intellectual free-for-alls, the conferences were radically interdisciplinary. Researchers from a wide variety of fields struggled to understand one another and make connections between others’ ideas and their own areas of expertise. In the process, a concept that may have begun as a model of a particular physical system came to have broader significance…” (Kathrin Hayles)
