A 20 th century typewriter and a 21 st century contact mic animated by inter-generational human bodies walk into computational “theatrical machines” (Judith Butler) … Is this a joke? We’ll find out in this course.

Queer philosopher Michel Foucault in a word play combined the words anarchy and archeology to anarcheology. In his lectures “On the Government of the Living” (1979-80) he argues for a “theoreticalpractical position on the non-necessity of power as a principle of intelligibility of knowledge itself”, also alluding to theatrical traditions and alethurgic performances of truth-telling. Anarcheology is a fruitful metaphor to engage in learning about methods of Artistic Intelligence or A/I. A/I is entangled with queering the Brechtian apparatus, learning about decolonial critique and Indigenous ontologies in humanmachine relationships. A/I is a method emerging in the praxis of the Digital Dramaturgy Labsquared (DDL2 ). It encourages to playfully create hands-on agency/literacy/knowledge in the context of digital technology, social media, Artificial Intelligence AI, automation and machine learning through sensual collisions and collaborations of mechanical artefacts with digital technology - hybrid time machines - and the collective dramaturgy/negotiation of human-machine and human-human power relations.

Key words: anarcheology as conceptual framework, feminism and machines, A/I artistic intelligence, digital dramaturgy as experimental performance, queering archives and machine.
