Introduction to the IBI Archives

The International Bateson Institute is a non-profit research and educational organization focused on exploring possible solutions to some of our most pressing problems through approaches to research that are consistent with the nature of complex systems. The efforts of the institute are inspired by the work of William Bateson and his son, Gregory Bateson.

The International Bateson Institute, located in Stockholm Sweden, is dedicated to finding new ways of knowing and describing the intedependeicies of nature and society. Inspired by the legacy of generations of Batesons’ projects to study interaction within complex systems, the International Bateson Institute develops transcontextual research methodologies integrating ecology, economy, social change, health, education and art. The aim of this research is to increase our ability to take into account the patterns and processes in the relationships that coexist in and around all living systems. In addition to providing research, the findings of the International Bateson Institute projects are presented as artistic exhibitions to engage culture and education simultaneously in public spaces, for all ages.

This site serves as an archive of past and present research as communicated through various media, including text, music, video, art, audio, and so forth.

Quote of the Moment:

"... the myth of power is, of course, a very powerful myth, and probably most people in this world more or less believe in it. It is a myth, which, if everybody believes in it, becomes to that extent self-validating. But it is still epistemological lunacy and leads inevitably to various sorts of disaster."
