Abstract

Nowadays, the new communication and information technologies are part of our environment, our own nature. Accordingly, it is of worth to wonder about the aesthetic relationship between our bodies and the devices, machines that allow us to access digital information. This article is based on the results given by a bibliographic research about contemporary biopolitics, plus an historical review about the relationship between the body and the machine. Those results deliver an estimate definition of a machinised technobody, although that body still presents itself as the only possible place for vital production.
