Counter-Algorhythmics as Prefigurative Dances of Commonism

Abstract

In this essay, I both look back and forward what the concept of algo-rhythm has meant in my terms more than ten years ago at the time I came up with that ironic cacography and how it transformed into its current configuration. The essay proposes dancing as way to look at digitality in order to imagine and theorize about alternative ways to live, to move, to act within networks of body-machines we are entangled in. It proposes counter-algorhythmics as a form of resistance and tries eventually to link such a practice to the broader movement of commons-oriented activism.
