SUMMARY:Towards a History of Complexity: Images and Models
DESCRIPTION:Stephen Hawking pronounced this the century of complexity. But 
 thinking of things as the complex entanglements of simpler components has 
 a long history\, even in the limited sense of its importance to the arts a
 nd sciences of Western Europe. This talk recovers one aspect of that histo
 ry\, beginning with arguably the very first image used to model a complex 
 system as such. From alchemical elements to quasi-crystals\, corpuscular a
 ffections to ecological entanglements\, images have all along been crucial
  to modelling complex systems. This talk traces a few steps towards a hist
 ory of these techniques.
