Machine-Oriented Ontology (MOO) challenges the traditional concept of ‘object’ by introducing the concept of ‘machine’, advocating for a posthuman media ecology that emphasizes the interactions and interdependencies between humans and non-human machines. MOO also puts forth correlational presuppositions that consider machines as tangible entities, intentionally designed artifacts, and hybrid forms of instrumentality. This paper examines R.U.R. (1920), significant narrative showcasing correlations, and explores how it aligns with MOO.
In R.U.R., robots initially conform to humans’ narcissistic mirror logic but ultimately attain liberation through the deconstruction of this mirror. The concept of the “power to work” establishes a horizontal ontology, placing humans and non-human robots on equal footing. Humans who do not engage in work are deemed unproductive and self-destructive. As working robots dissolve the instrumental relationship that centers around humans in all productive interactions, a paradigm shift occurs. Concurrently, Eric and Televox, the actual robots of R.U.R.’s era, challenge traditional humanistic relationships by interacting with humans beyond their predetermined design while also engaging in an instrumental relationship with them. This subversion of the expected human-robot dynamic introduces a disruptive element. The unexpected behaviour of actual machines operating outside their designated roles and contrary to human intentions creates a crack in the humanist mirror. As humans attribute materiality to the machines themselves, interspecies connections and transitions with non-humans become apparent. These relationships suggest an interconnected assemblage of machines. Through the exploration of MOO, this discussion opens up possibilities for a community that encompasses both human and non-human machines.
