Machine movements, choreography of urban life. To me, 'social machinery' reminds of phones or something, not the types of machines you seem to investigate. Your term 'Society as a machine' seems more accurate to what you're talking about.

Response to 5 questions - Kinetic art, and sculptural movement installations, in which one moving object excites the next, act & response. More in one place, Moholy-Nagy of course, wikipedia suggests "A Sequence of Sensations", 2001 Sal Maccarone.
I've only seen a few larger ones, room-filling, video documentation, I believe, but I can't recall names right now... Maybe Amy knows, there was one on view earlier this year at Roodkapje. This is not the mechanical detail and sound you seem more interested in, but might offer something else.

Koyaanisqatsi.

What you describe also reminds me of minimal music, when you hear and see Phillip Glass perform for example, you just see machinery, repetitive movements in a factory, city life.

- More meaning. Don't be too afraid to make a cool choreography. It can be a very powerful one. Take a look at Candice Breitz, she did a recording of the entire Bob Marley album, The Legend. It's a multi-channel video, on one big wall, with a multitude of people singing the album, song by song, as a haunting choir. So simple, so captivating.
