As human and machine agency become increasingly intermingled and
digital media is overlaid onto the urban landscape, The machinic
city argues that performance art can help us to understand
contemporary urban living. Dias analyses several performance art
interventions from artists such as Blast Theory, Rafael
Lozano-Hemmer and Rimini Protokoll, which draw from a rich history
of avant-garde art movements to create spaces for deliberation and
reflection on urban life and to speculate on its future. While
cities are increasingly controlled by autonomous processes mediated
by technical machines, Dias analyses the performative potential of
the aesthetic machine, as it assembles with media, capitalist,
human and urban machines. The aesthetic machine of performance art
in urban space is examined through its different components -
design, city and technology actants. This unveils the unpredictable
nature and emerging potential of performance art as it unfolds in
the machinic city, which consists of assemblages of efficient and
not-so-efficient machines. -- .
