Contemporary technological apparatuses and media provoke new forms of ‘intra-action’ between what is usually considered to be either human or machinic agency, to use Barad’s terminology of posthumanist performativity (Barad 2003). In this sense, digital cultures are performative cultures. They condition and are shaped by techno-social processes and agencies, and
