[Larval Subjects .] The Allure of Machinic Life: The Cybernetic Wing of OOO: In The Allure of Machinic Life, John Johnston examines new forms of nascent life that emerge through technical interactions within human-constructed environments”””machinic life”””in the sciences of cybernetics, artificial life, and artificial intelligence. With the development of such research initiatives as the evolution of digital organisms, computer immune systems, artificial protocells, evolutionary robotics, and swarm systems, Johnston argues, machinic life has achieved a complexity and autonomy worthy of study in its own right.

Yet it can work as important supplement to the various post-Fordist theories of contemporary remodulations of techniques of life that extend life from the human to the realm of machines (or the Agambenian discourse surrounding of life beyond meaning) - and Johnston offers here a very detailed image of how this diagrammatic distribution of discourses and machines happens.

It would be interesting to continue some of the ideas regarding machinic life - life machinated and reterritorialised into new contexts where evolutionary software, swarm organisations and self-organizing machines exhibit agencies of new kinds.
