In the afternoon, while Paradiso was filled with hackers having a great time, the edit group and some other people gathered to draw up the final declaration that we wanted to launch on the networks as a result of the GHP. At that moment Gordon Pasc, a famous cybernetician, entered Paradiso. He was in town as a guest of the CICT of the University of Amsterdam, with which we collaborated, and offered to give a speech. With a huge black cape, a pipe and a plastic cup he climbed the stage of Paradiso and explained the principle of entropy to the gathered audience by blowing smoke into the plastic cup and showing how it finds a shape. Chaos is full of tensions and patterns and shapes will always evolve in the end; entropy is one of the dynamics that is responsible for this.
