Vol. 4 No. 2 (2016): Artistic practices, soft technologies and social machinery

We interact daily with soft technologies: procedures, systems, processes, ... which, because they are intangible, are difficult to perceive. They may consist of behavioural protocols, operating codes, communicative strategies, organi- sational models, teaching methodologies, etc. As artists we use these constantly (in collaborative creation processes, in rela- tions with the public, transmitting subjectivities, etc.) and sometimes they even constitute the cornerstone of our artistic projects (in performance, contextual and participative practices, etc.). The formalizations and devices which we think up are affected by these technologies, which we often use in a natural- ised manner. This is why explaining them, understanding how they work, experimenting with them and becoming able to use them in an empowered manner, will allow us to make a sophisticated use of these soft technologies, both in the artistic arena and in their relationship with other social and scientific areas.
