N2 - Digital cultures1 are performative cultures. This assumption is illustrated by theubiquitous and invisible infrastructures that constitute them, which are interstratifiedby so-called ‘smart things’ (Engemann/Sprenger 2015; Günel/Halpern2016), creating a socio-technical environment, in which performances of thetechnological come about. While human users may not be able to comprehendthe entire technological performance, they are without a doubt intertwined withit. The digital performs, the human reacts to the agency the technologies suggest,and vice versa: “Performing (the) Digital”.
