This document discusses machines that are able to communicate and translate the physical world. It mentions several bots like @mashomatic, @acoluthon, and @ElectricBarthes. It also discusses how everyday objects will have expressive elements like sound, light, and movement. The document advocates for respecting the constraints and demands of non-human machines and protocols when soliciting their assistance. It references works like a model of a Turing machine, Anna Coluthon, and the Electric Barthes Flarf Scarf.

Our machines are talking back were entering a time when sound, light and movement are equally important parts of the creative palette. Everyday objects whose expressive elements have long been static will now glow, sing, vibrate and change position at the drop of a hat. (NYT, Carla Diana, Talking, Walking Objects, Jan. 26 2013.)

Machine Love No technical object, it is true, will be enamored of the engineer that whispers sweet nothings into its sockets; to solicit its assistance is, however to do right by it and respect its protocols. What is called technical proficiency is a human actant's mastery of such protocolssurely a kind of human- nonhuman love, premised on the human's deep respect for the nonhuman's constraints and demands. - Kyle McGee, writing on Latours Aramis

A translation of the world Cyborg politics is the struggle for language and the struggle against perfect communication, against the one code that translates all meaning perfectly. -- Donna Haraway
