Andreas Jakob von Dietrichstein

The automaton as theatre, machines as actors. Bots trying to pass as human.

the city becomes a kind of vast mechanical opera

Performance/machines as models of poteential society. Machines are virtual, performances are the same as tools they all have a magic circle.

Rosenegger conducted the work on this theatre under armed guard 

(from the video, apparently all the protestants were thrown out of SAlzburg a decade previously and Rosenegger was protestant)

The miner Lorenz Rosenegger von Dürrnberg offered  to  redesign the grotto

(from the website)

Rosenegger  was  also  commissioned  to construct  an  “organ  works” 

What does it mean to receive a commission under armed guard? Do creative labourers have freedom of religion? Are automatons protestant if their creator is protestant? Can bots have protests? Do organs work? Do organs perform work? Do organs perform? Do bots have organs? What do they do? Are organs tools or performers? Who has the right to be an organ ethnographer? Who has the right to perform auto(maton)ethnography?
