In this paper we explore the relationship between technology, performance, and creative invention drawing on concepts of cosmotechnics/technodiversity and theories of performance and technical mediation. By opposing the hegemonic, universalizing view of technology/culture and the conceptualization of performance as an entanglement of technical systems and embodied actions, we discuss aspects of four artistic projects that integrate interactive and audiovisual elements. In conclusion, the paper asserts the importance for artists, particularly those in contexts considered peripheral, to resist the homogenizing force of a dominant "monotechnology". It advocates for a critical and creative appropriation of technology that fosters situated and contextualized artistic invention.
