In this course we will study queer, queering and feminist ideas and practices regarding the materiality, politics, irony, gender, and performativity of playing with/through/as/against machines while imagining alternative apparatuses of socio-economic relations. In the current context of AI, generative AI and automation technologies, surveillance capitalism and cyber colonialism – apparently threatening human existence and the planet - a central question becomes what A/I or artistic intelligence as explored in projects of the Digital Dramaturgy Lab Squared (DDL2) has to offer? Dramaturgical strategies like game, play, performance, inter/multi/media and theatre (intersecting the arts, engineering, sciences) as well as dialectically contingent provocations of established tropes like (re)presentation, repetition, imitation, simulation, automation, acting and the structures of feeling will be of interest. Questions: Dada? What did Gertrude Stein like about Brown’s “readies”? How did Alan Turing attempt to test the intelligence of machines? Bauhaus? Is “Eliza” a representation of gendered idiocy? When did Michel Foucault invent the term anarcheology that inspires media archeology experiments interfacing machines of the past and today? Was Andy Warhol a computational thinker? Where is the irony coming from in Donna Haraway’s cyborg manifesto and how does it help decolonize? What does Judith Butler discuss as “Theatrical Machines”? Can the arts be a future-generating machine? Who played musical chess in Toronto? How does the avatar, as discussed by Sue-Ellen Case, connect the theatre of the sciences with scientific theatre? What does J. Halberstam think about intelligent machines? Is it stupid intelligence or intelligent stupidity that drives artistic awe and curiosity? What is a machine metaphor? What does Ursula Franklin say? Who is in control of the apparatus? What can we learn from Octavia Butler? Which manifestos should we know? Key words: queering machines, feminism and machines, A/I artistic intelligence, digital dramaturgy as experimental performance, machine provocations |
