Ecological agencies: between technical machines and desiring machines

Abstract

The aim, in this article, was to emphasize which machines or machinist agencyings are on the line in experimentation of ecological ways of life. The investigation hypothesis was that the ways of relating to the environment are different according to the machinist agencyings that are inherent to them. In the analytical sections, it’s being analyzed a portable water purifier from the LifeStraw brand and the projection of the sunrise on a Led screen, in Beijing, as examples of technical machines; and two pieces from Brazilian artists Roberta Carvalho and Eduardo Srur, as examples of desiring machines. In each of these cases, it was persued to demonstrate what type of subjectivity is inherent to the respective analyzed machinist agencying.
