Dominique Routhier is an art theorist and postdoctoral researcher currently employed at the University of Southern Denmark. His writings have appeared in Rethinking Marxism, Nordic Journal of Aesthetics, Boundary 2 online, and LA Review of Books, among other places.
Evincing a breathtaking command of the broader historical context that informed the rise of the Situationist International during the age of automation and the birth of cybernetics, Dominique Routhier's innovative analysis transcends the discipline of art history, allowing us to link early 20thcentury avant-garde struggles against the alienated separation of art and labour with all the nuances of the SI imperative. Given our anxieties today about the impact of Artificial Intelligence on labour and art, Routhier's study could not be more timely. -- Abigail Susik, Willamette University, author of <i>Surrealist Sabotage and the War on Work</i>
