Authors

This paper deals with the early phase of research in the field of pattern recognition in the 1960s using Heinz von Foerster’s Biological Computer Laboratory (BCL) as an example. In a first step, the foundation, rise and decline of the BCL are outlined. Subsequently, three machines will be presented that were expected to model the natural phenomenon of pattern. Finally, the suggestion is made to refer to these biological computers as “lively artifacts” and to understand their observation as an integral aspect of their mode of operation.
