Performing AI: Labor and Complexity on the Contemporary Stage
“Performing AI” raises new questions about creative labor. Might the mathematical entities called neural networks that constitute much contemporary AI research be expressive and “perform,” thus leveling the playing field between human beings and nonhuman machines? What human societal models do neural networks enact? What bodily, mental, and affective work is required to integrate neural networks into the profoundly anthropocentric domain of the p…
Anthropology of the Artificial: Material Encounters among Humans and Sentient Machines
“Anthropology of the Artificial” is a special section of articles by a collective of anthropologists, sociologists, digital media artists, and computer scientists that address the ever increasing encounters between humans and new kinds of machine systems. The contributions draw on a series of artistic and scientific research programs which call for new ways of thinking about the relations between human and artificial systems, focusing on anthropo…
Neuronal Acts
If microperformativity is seen to spatially and temporally destabilize human scales as the dominant plane of reference, as well as to ‘emphasize biological and technological micro-agencies’ that ‘relate the invisibility of the microscopic to the incomprehensibility of the macroscopic’, there may be no better performative example than the neuron. Neurons seem to have become our latest cultural-technical fetish objects that easily jump scale, conte…
Epistemes of Performativity
As method, practice and world-view, performance now is one of the central knowledge paradigms for the twentieth-first century. As disciplines as diverse as new media, management and organizational studies, human-computer interaction, architecture, science and technology studies (STS) and ethnography oriented participatory design increasingly embrace, the new performative turn has As method, practice and world-view, performance now is one of the c…
Disturbance, Translation, Enculturation: Necessary Research in New Media, Technology, and the Senses
This article examines a research program centered at the nexus of five seemingly unrelated fields: art practice with new technologies, anthropology, cultural studies of technology, the development of new technologies that seek to make new forms of sensation, and Indigenous new media studies. First, I articulate a broader area of interdisciplinary research called sensory studies . Subsequently, and switching to the pronoun “we,” I briefly describe…

Geography and California's Educational Reform: One Approach to a Common Cause
In the past decade, there has been active effort to reform America's educational system. Much of the drive for this change has come from reports on the declining performance of American students on standardized tests. In California, this educational reform has been stimulated by the election of a new Superintendent of Public Instruction and the passage of a major education reform bill. This bill, S. 813, has not only directed a full review of the…
