DESCRIPTION:[b]DIAS Lecture by Dominique Routhier\, postdoc in the Departm
 ent of Language and Culture [/b][nl][nl]\n\n[b]Art and Automation: Cybern
 etics\, Modernism and the Avantgarde[/b][nl][nl]\nAbstract: In a 2022 New
  York Times article\, an artist who won a local art competition with an A
 I-generated artwork dramatically declared: ‘Art is dead\, dude. It's over
 . AI won. Humans lost.’ This statement exemplifies a broader sense of anx
 iety about AI and automation\, extending beyond concerns about jobs and l
 ivelihoods to encompass fundamental aspects of the human condition: our a
 bility to think\, reason\, communicate\, and express ourselves artistical
 ly. In a DIAS lecture presenting his new book\, With and Against: the Sit
 uationist International in the Age of Automation\, Dominique Routhier his
 toricizes the automation-debate by returning to its ‘cybernetic’ origins 
 in the 1950s. The lecture thus focuses on the centrality of cybernetics—a
  largely forgotten interdisciplinary ‘science of communication and contro
 l’—to the postwar moment in art\, and\, by way of examples from mid-centu
 ry modernism and the avantgarde\, argues that the history of automation a
 nd the history of art are deeply intertwined.[nl][nl]\n\nAbout: Dominique
  Routhier is a postdoc in the Department of Language and Culture at the U
 niversity of Southern Denmark\, an affiliate at DIAS (Danish Institute fo
 r Advanced Studies)\, and part of the research project ‘Drone Imaginaries
  and Communities’ (Independent Research Fund Denmark\, 2020-2024). His re
 search focuses on the cultural history of automation\, with a particular 
 interest in the intersection of art\, technology\, and political economy.
  Dominique is currently at work on a scholarly handbook\, The Aesthetics 
 of Machine Vision: Critical Terms and Ideas (in review\, MIT Press). His 
 writings have appeared in numerous Scandinavian and international journal
 s\, including K&K\, Nordic Journal of Aesthetics\, Rethinking Marxism\, B
 oundary 2\, Historical Materialism\, and LARB\, among other places. Autho
 r of With and Against: the Situationist International in the Age of Autom
 ation (Verso Books\, 2023).\n\n\n\n[nl][nl]\n[b] About: [/b] [nl]\nThe le
