</b>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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
