This article draws on the concept of “performance ” to argue for greater recogni-tion of preexisting practices in the configuration of users. Through an Australian case study of a computer-based dairy decision-support system introduced via a two-day workshop to participating farmers, the article examines the assembling of imputed farmer users in the design of the software. It then explores how the designer and trainers attempt, through the decision-support system, to mobilize their network and align the imputed user with farmers’preexisting performances. The case study highlights that attempts to make workable on-farm the “new ” per-formances of users inscribed in the software are highly contingent on farmers’ preexisting knowledge practice...
