Abstract

The article analyzes the socio-political dynamics that preconfigure the development of the technologies of image and vision, focusing on the human-machine interface and the informatics and cybernetics tendencies to overcome human limitations. Throught a theoretical approach, the article intends to provide alternative interpretations to the pitfalls of technological social determination or the political neutrality of technology. To conclude, we point out how these processes are interwoven with a political conflict that has the modes of subjectivation and the forms of sensitive knowledge as the actual territory of dispute.
