(1920/21), from the central figure of the technological progress myth towards it’s transformation into powerful means of subversive strategies within discourse of post-humanism and information society. The argument starts with explanation of the R.U.R. reception by Czech theatre critiques (Robot as a kitsch), and continues by tracing the way Robot had become part of the myth of the “machine age” and subsequently their reputation as sci-fi genre cliché establishment. Finally, the Robotic art importance as a platform of subversive strategies within new media art practices and information society ideologies is stressed. ER -
