All this raises the far older problem of the relationship between technology
and reason, and the more recent problem of the relationship between
human faculties, computation, and the digital. But this in turn implies the
need for profound reflection on the problem of mediation as such, for which
Guattari’s notion of a ‘post-media era’ remains suggestive.3 Guattari devoted
considerable attention to the impact of media technologies on the formation
of subjectivity, and, more than twenty years later, in a world that has since
undergone several extraordinary transformations, this discourse still contains
crucial insights into the contemporary technological condition. In Chaosmosis
in particular and in relation to the technological modification of experience,
Guattari highlights the tendency of new technologies to operate within a
field of action focused predominantly on sensibility prior to subjecthood. He
then invokes the construction of a ‘new aesthetic paradigm’,4 a project
dedicated to a ‘subjectivity to come’, re-singularized, and capable of a
re-appropriation of technologies, with the capacity to invent unprecedented
technological practices. ‘The aesthetic power of feeling’, he argues, occupies
‘a privileged position within the collective Assemblages of enunciation of our
era’,5 becoming the most necessary of forces, capable of reinventing
The ideas of machinic ecology and fundamental technicity are not new to
critical thought. If the cybernetic dream of the 1950s has left a residue on the
contemporary imagination, it consists in the desire to stop thinking of the rela-
tion between the individual, the environment and technical objects in instru-
mental terms – or rather, the problem is not instrumentalization but the
reduction of instruments and environments to a means for the human. Indeed,
‘cybernetics intentionally blurred the boundaries between humans, animals,
and sophisticated technological objects, [and for this] it has often been accused
of reducing living beings to the mere interplay of mechanisms’.16 Cybernetics
has, indeed, always consisted in a rationalization and systematization of the
real, in order to minimize uncertainties and ‘to develop a universal theory of
regulation and control, applicable to economic as well as mental processes,
and to sociological as well as aesthetic phenomena’ – it is this that has led to
the success of behaviourism and the cognitive sciences.17 Yet, cybernetics has
also tried to draw automatic machines and organisms together, on the basis of
their shared capacity to respond to changing environments, treating them as
‘self-adapting systems’ operating through feedback loops.

To what degree this attitude entered into Gilbert Simondon’s philosophy of
technology, that is, his account of the principle of individuation and mor-
phogenesis, is a matter for debate.18 For Simondon, individuation is an
always incomplete process, unfolding as the play of tendency and counter-
tendency maintaining a metastable equilibrium (relatively stable, which is to
say, relatively unstable) within which they compose, and thereby composing
not only living individuals, but also the relationship between individuals and
their milieu. Simondon also refers to the ‘pre-individual field’, a difficult
notion referring to something like a primitive condition, in which a complex
of heterogeneous forces charged with potentials can give rise to onto-genesis,
to a movement arising from an internal ‘dephasing’ – a movement through
which individuation gets going. This could, today, be understood as calling
for an ‘ecological thought’,19 given that, if what develops within the pre-indi-
vidual field are transductive relations, then this amounts to the proposition
that neither side can exist without the other.20
This strict coupling, between the (psychic and collective) individual and its
milieu as the site of its originary artifacticity, brings ‘technics’ to the fore as a
relation that precedes its terms, in which we can recognize an active form of
agency, amounting to the essentially techno-logical ‘invention of the human’
and its culture via what Stiegler calls epiphylogenetic memory.24 He thereby
goes beyond the idea of an environmental agency, in the sense that agency
would be already diffused in the technical pre-individual field, from which
différance proceeds. But the logic and history of this différance, or of the inex-
tricably tied strands of technical, psychic, and collective individuation, is for
Stiegler something that can be perceived only in an après-coup, that is, after
Baranzoni
150
its concretization in an empirical supplement, the ‘spatialized temporal
object’. More broadly, every form of knowledge is, for Stiegler, characterized
by a kind of techno-logic, always operating in tandem with technical
memory-supports (hypomnemata), throughout every step of the individuation
process and its necessary but temporary reversals.
Today, after the digital or computational turn,27 the relation between what is
sensed and its understanding, that is, its analysis, is becoming automatized
through the use of computational devices,28 and its power delegated to algo-
rithms capable of capturing data and applying formalized instructions that
go beyond any given experience. In fact, however, as Stiegler argues, this is
nothing new: it is precisely through operations conducted on symbolic exte-
riorizations (that is, mnemotechnical systems) that the production and forma-
tion of consciousness – and any other human rational faculty – is possible at
all.29 The automatization of these processes is only one of the techniques
commonly used in order to achieve an active noetic life, through which, for
instance, it becomes possible to execute mental analytical operations without
always needing to pass through a conscious noetic process. But the speed of
data and algorithmic correlation has increased the reliance on this possibility
of freeing brain-time via the automation of the phases of knowledge, to the
point that belief has arisen in the possibility of a new kind of hyper-powerful
thought, but one that, operating through automated correlations of digital
information, will no longer require the intervention and interpretation of
any human actor.30
The ways in which the collecting, processing, and structuring of data seem
to be replacing not only human reason but scientific theories, analyzing and

predicting phenomena ‘without having to consider either causes or inten-
tions’, has been explored by Antoinette Rouvroy in several works on ‘Big
Data ideology’.31 Human forms of knowing have long been seen as contain-
ing a fundamental weakness with respect to the ‘immediate truth’ of the
‘thing-in-itself’, and hence as requiring an ‘external guarantor’, a conviction
that can be found throughout the entire history of philosophy. The idea of
some powerful new ‘regime of truth’ emanating from data itself and
extracted by automatic data collection, therefore, for Rouvroy merely repre-
sents the last in a series of ideologies about truth, reality and knowledge.32 In
general, this ideology responds to the demand for the kind of absolute objec-
tivity that machines alone can provide, bypassing empirical experiments and
giving the impression that the uncertainty of subjective perception has been
neutralized in advance. Data, it suggests, thinks by itself: emanating directly
from the world and automatically meaningful, it relieves humankind of the
burden of interpreting and evaluating facts.

that ‘as such’ we cannot capture, since it is situated ‘on scales and at sensory
thresholds that remain beyond our grasp’.35
All this comes at a cost. First, Hansen argues that we face a marginalization
of consciousness, replaced by a ‘worldly sensibility’ that he nevertheless
thinks amounts to an expansion of human sensory capacity – hence his idea
of a ‘non-perceptual sensation’, paraphrasing the Whiteheadian notion of
‘nonsensuous perception’.37 Second, just as the gathering of data about con-
sumer and user behaviour is being exploited by the logics of capitalism and
the market, so too ‘today’s culture industries can tap the bodily processes
leading to “foresight” ... because they are able, with the help of microcom-
puting sensors, to access the sensory output of these processes’, rendering
them operable and accessible.38 ‘Contemporary capitalist industries’, he con-
tinues, ‘are able to bypass consciousness – and thus to control individual
behaviour – precisely because of their capacity to exploit the massive acceler-
ation in the operationality of culture generated by massive-scale data gather-
ing and predictive analysis’.39 In short, they enter the temporal gap that
precedes consciousness, and operate before the formation of consciousness
itself, permitting ‘the industrial co-optation of sensibility’, which takes the
form of the extraction and exploitation of ‘data-value’ and the loss of control
over the behavioural data we produce.40
Hansen recognizes the scale of this challenge but insists that, rather than
seeking any kind of lost (or post-)phenomenological interface, we should
concentrate on the expanded sensory contact made possible by the data of
technical sensibility. Data should be utilised to maximise our agency over the
future: the monopoly over data access must be wrested from the data indus-
try, however much it claims that its products improve life. He argues that
special media environments must be designed to be capable of informing us
about our own experience – information of a kind to which we have no
other conscious access. Such environments would utilise the same technical
means developed by the data industries, and feed this data forward into a
future experience of embodied consciousness. They ‘must, that is, develop
the potential for a mediological modulation of the domain of sensibility …
that would be “autonomous” from any direct connection to human affec-
tions, sensations, and perceptions and that would embrace the technicity
“essential” to its very mode of being’.43
Proletarianized Sensibilities
Through this process, a radical exteriority would take the place of conscious-
ness, an exteriority ‘that is radically disjunctive with phenomenological
modes of experience’, such as, Hansen argues, those ‘theorized by philoso-
phers from Plato via Hegel to Stiegler’.44 The fact that a re-interiorization of
this exteriority is not possible, but only a feed-forward, for Hansen excludes
any possible presence of an interface, a mediation connecting it with worldly
sensibility: in this way, exteriority acts directly on the realm of agency.
Given his notion of agency as at the same time diffused and impersonal, it is
perfectly understandable that Hansen wishes to avoid any dichotomy
between human agents and technical agents. He opts for the notion of an
ecological agency in which there is no longer any ‘possibility for an existen-
tial moment of self-recognition where one can modify one’s “precognized”
fate’, where the characters ‘“blindly” follow the rule furnished by the
machine’, and where ‘the “numbers” generated by the machine … never fail
to yield the desired goal’. But Hansen’s dream bears a worrying resemblance
to our almost achieved dystopia, where ‘sophistically cognitive agents whose
workings remain absolutely inscrutable to human beings’ can make decisions
without any need for residual subjectivity.45
Furthermore, while for Hansen this war plays out between the ‘economic’
value of the data currently in the hands of the data industries and its rescue
by ‘us’, and mostly concerns an agency whose field is limited to the future,
for Stiegler, it is precisely ‘a matter of fighting against a process which is
nothing less than the attempt to eliminate the “spirit value”’.49 For Stiegler,
cultural capitalism’s attempt to increase the economic feedback of sensibility
represents one of its most dangerous threats. But he also stresses the need to
think this battle from an organological perspective, that is, a perspective
whereby artificial organs, social organizations, and the organs of the living
parallax
155
are all simultaneously and mutually at stake. If an economic war is being
waged on sensibility, this is not just a financial war, but a war of technical
development and psychic transformations.
Stiegler shows how the culture industries exert a form of control over this
projective process, and how through the industrialization of image-produc-
tion the market can stimulate the production of industrialized aspirations.
He thus diagnoses a widespread situation of ‘symbolic misery’, commencing
early in the twentieth century and engendered by the subjection of sensitive
life to its industrial organization: a generalized proletarianization of sensibility
consisting in the loss of the ability to produce symbols.53 It is precisely such
symbolic production that is fundamental for the accomplishment of the noe-
tic circuit, which can differentiate itself or produce new processes of individ-
uation only through an exclamatory ‘acting out’ that gives sense to sensation
in the act of giving it back to others.54
While the Stieglerian critique may remind some readers of Adorno’s sweep-
ing denunciation of the culture industry, it should not be forgotten that what
Stiegler emphasizes above all is the pharmacological character of all technics.
Hence we should conclude by considering how positive pharmacological
practices may be derived from these very same technologies. But unlike
Hansen, for whom there is virtue in abandoning the perceptual and experi-
ential realm altogether, we argue that virtue can only consist in increasing
the potentials for, and the connections between, the thinkable, the knowable,
and the sensible.

new sensibilities, or to a computational aesthetics responding to other needs,
rather than to an ‘enhancement’ of the aesthetic faculty.60
If at first sight this might resemble Hansen’s view, the difference consists in
Berry’s critical account of the ‘disconnection’ between our physicality and
that of a world within which, as we have seen, computational capitalism
equips itself with new forms of penetrating power, and from out of which
new ideologies and utopian visions proliferate. Berry refers in particular to
the notion of ‘augmented humanity’, or humanity 2.0, the conviction
that human consciousness, having been put under the microscope of
computational devices, will be exposed as the mental weakling it is, desper-
ately in need of cognitive remediation via some kind of computational
manipulation – while in fact corporate capitalism can so easily divert this
‘help’ towards surveillance, control, and manipulation.61
This does not mean that for Berry blame lies only with computing: for
Berry, too, computation is a pharmakon.62 But if a cure is possible, for Berry
it resides in the possibility of a computational aesthetics within everyday life:
‘the cultural eruption of the grammatization of software logics’.63 That is to
say: this new aesthetic would be what allows computational patterns to rise
to the surface, making visible the unseen and little-understood logic of com-
putation, and opening onto a new ‘software-oriented culture’ that, in his
view, is very different from computational capitalism and that, in our view,
contains the germ of a response to the problem of the proletarianization of
sensibility.64 Rather than merely creating correlations within datasets, com-
putation ‘may [help to] seek digital or abductive explanations for certain kinds
of aesthetic’, that is, facilitate a mode of thinking that would not be just pas-
sive, automatic and repetitive.65 Instead, it would pass through attentive
observation and re-engage intellectual processes, ‘which also remain within
the purview of humans to seek to understand’.66
Berry makes us focus once again on the ‘aesthetic power of feeling’. If what
Stiegler calls ‘digital tertiary retention’ has ‘enmediated’ this power, automa-
tizing its processes and transforming the perceived world into a vast dataset,
this fact should be subject to an analysis that neither falls into mindless
enthusiasm nor into blind distrust. Confronted with a massive increase in the
automation of sensibility, a corresponding therapeutic must be sought, not
by capitulating to the technological formatting of the faculties, but by har-
nessing automatization in the creation of new spaces and potentials for dis-
automatization. Such a therapeutic should focus on ways of enhancing and
creating skills in and through our experiences and activities. We must recog-
nise that there never was any ‘immediate’ perception: our apprehension of
the world around us has always been filtered through our acquired under-
standings, even at the level of the senses. Rather than abandoning some illu-
sory ‘direct perception’, what we require are thus new forms of educated
sensibility.

Certainly, this has much in common with Stiegler’s idea of ‘deproletarianiza-
tion’, which describes processes that reverse that ‘loss of knowledge’ pro-
duced by the ‘de-capabilizing’ shock which each new technological invention
brings. If the knowledge underpinning our sensibility is being lost, then the
concept of deproletarianization allows us to understand that fostering forms
of care that would allow for the re-appropriation of such knowledge could
never be based on the abandonment of our originarily prosthetic condition.
But nor can it be based on some simpleminded reclaiming of propriety over
the data we produce, through which we would somehow be reimbursed for
agreeing to submit to the electronic Leviathan of algorithmic governmental-
ity. The Guattarian injunction to re-appropriate our technologies must
instead be seen as thrusting us towards a new technological engagement,
where the rich sensory possibilities they open up become opportunities to
redefine our aesthetic relationality and individuate our sensibility, and to do
so critically.
