Abstract

This paper delivers a critical analysis about separating the artificial from the living in order to understand artifactual beings. Influenced by Gilbert Simondon and Bruno Latour, the authors of this article propose, on one hand, to think about artifactual beings without relying on that dichotomy, and, on the other, to study the technical phenomenon as a quasi-object with previous individual existence to the emergence of human being.
