*In times of dividual-machinic capitalism, technology moves beyond the 
dichotomic figures of technophobia (humans as instruments of machines) 
and techno-euphoria (machinic progress in the hands of humans). In 
fields as diverse as financial derivatives and cryptocurrencies, 
biometric film images, digital cuts and data doubles, technologies 
become environment, enveloping, surround. Interlaced with the Guattarian 
understanding of ecologies as threefold - mental, social and 
environmental - a new machinic form of technologies as ecologies emerges.

Consider the function of media in micropolitics and social struggles: 
here media are usually thought to be mediating, spreading the message, 
as direct lines from the few who utter the statement to the many it is 
supposed to reach. But the medium is itself milieu, not a secondary 
means of mediation. The medium doesn’t just transmit content, and even 
the idea of a viral medium remains too influenced by the linear 
imaginary of content to be spread. In the middle of (social) media 
subjectivation, which does not infrequently take on the form of anger, 
fear, hate and malice, new modes of affection and enunciation also 
emerge. It was and is possible to move from machinic subservience to 
machinic dissemblages, to affirm eruptions of dividual streams instead 
of online-competition among the networked individuals. We could call 
this possible turn the postmedia era with Guattari, but let’s refuse the 
“post” and see here instead a technecology, in which things and 
surrounds, machines and socialities multiply and concatenate.
