No sooner had the first Dandy entered the scene at the beginning of the nineteenth century than he was declared dead. This enigmatic yet immediately iconic figure would remake an entrance again and again in the decades that followed. Like an elegant harbinger, Dandys arrive in times of crisis when societies are undergoing transformation. Like the hands of a clock, their silhouettes become messengers of change. But they are contours of change that carry no message. While everything is already in flames, they debate the shape of their shoes and sip oysters to combat their depression. For a long time, literature was their playing field. Marcel Duchamp transferred their attitude into the realm art. It is there that Dandyism has to this day run rampant--but as if it were an embarrassing illness to which almost no one wants to admit, yet with which many people are itching to at least flirt. This essay traces out the masked ball of the Dandy and his manner of playing with its rules up to the present day and produces a unique narrative from it: one that offers a view into the future.

Was ist ein Dandy? Und was hat diese Figur mit Technologie zu tun? Felix Hüttemann extrapoliert ausgehend von diesen Fragen eine (Medien-)Ästhetik, die dandyistische Prozesse für die Auseinandersetzung mit smarten Technologien (ubiquitous computing, calm technology, Internet der Dinge) fruchtbar macht. Die Relationen der Literatur, des Interieurs, der Dinge, der Technik und Medien sind hierbei Bezüge, anhand derer sich die Studie dem ästhetischen Paradigma »Dandyismus« annähert und zeigt: Die heutigen environmentalen Settings der Umgebungstechnologie revitalisieren Subjektivierungsprozesse, die im 19. Jahrhundert dandyistischen Figuren und Formierungen zu eigen waren.
