Abstract

Unser Nachdenken über die Existenz im Zwischenraum zwischen Mensch und Maschine (oder in ganz anderen Figurationen) hat im Grunde erst begonnen. Aus Kraftwerks einflussreicher Langspielplatte "Die Mensch-Maschine" (1978) leitet dieser Beitrag einleitend die folgenden werkimmanenten Themen ab, die im Buch "Mensch - Maschine" (Grimm/Zöllner, Hrsg., 2018) behandelt werden: – das Verhältnis zwischen Mensch und Maschine/Roboter, – Arten der Maschinisierung, Automatisierung und Entmaterialisierung, – Herausbildung neuer Formen von Individualität und Humanität, – Transformationen der Gesellschaft, – Herrschaftsverhältnisse im digitalen Zeitalter, – Arbeit(en) im digitalen Zeitalter, – kreative Ausdrucksformen einer Maschinen-/Roboterästhetik, – Ethik und Reflexion dieser Prozesse. * Who Are the Robots? A Pop-cultural View of the Man-Machine Relationship * Downloadable at https://media.dav-medien.de/sample/9783515122719_p.pdf

Taking its perspective from the sociology of knowledge, it identifies pop music’s trajectory of imaginations in the context of technological change processes. The article concludes that the artistic treatment of these processes remains largely vague and ambiguous, its habitus for the most part dystopian. In fact, rarely did pop music cover digitization and cybernation at all in the period under scrutiny. This relative lack of coverage due to oversight or denial may be attributed to a stance based on nihilistic avoidance unconsciously incorporated in the historical situation.
