"Technical Functions" "Digitong Ideograms" prostheses "Measuring instruments" Interface society materials transform fuel

Digitong Ideograms are not rigid categories but semantic qualities.

Ties, ropes, nets, glues, cement, joints, arches, frames, connections and construction materials of all kinds extend and consolidate the physical medium of human networks.

The Gift conveys Society through the Thing channel.

From the First Nations' potlach economies to the world trade market exchanges, from alms to public subventions, the circulation and distribution of goods weave the social bond.

The Interface moves from one sign to another through a technical channel.

Measuring instruments, sensors, registration devices and recorders transfer information from a state of things to signs.

Together, prostheses support and strengthen our bodies.
