Exploring the entanglement of bodies and technologies that constitutes urbanity, Tender Machines aims to interrogate normative understandings of the so-called “technologized” or “smart city,” rejecting binary constructions of the “human” and the “machine” frequently employed in discourses surrounding it. Rather than oppositional, technology is understood as enfleshed, and bodies as technologized. What does that mean for how we think about cities today?
