Interfaces are linking agents between human beings and
technological data and machines. They create an interaction and mediate
a new redistribution of cultural cognitive perceptions. These interactions
modify relationships to time and space, questions classical borders, redefine
and hybridize individual and collective identities, modify the meaning
of the «subject».
Interface becomes a space, which rebuild discourse, sensibility and action.
Its involvement in technological data creates an efficient space of mediatization,
communication and connection.
This efficiency is used in hegemonic and vertical objectives of control
and power.
But it also offers insurrectionary and emancipating possibilities by the
creation of configurations of networks - fast, flexible, and horizontal
communication - which allows a questioning of these attempts of hegemony.
Interface is becoming then an historic and political space. |
