ante la destructividad naturalizada que ha acompañado el Antropoceno y ante la aparición de lo artificial como el modo ineluctable de la vida humana, necesitamos oponer el cultivo de modos de devenir cualitativamente nuevos a través del potencial futurizante ofrecido por lo artificial. En este caso ‘posibilidad’ significa “la negociación con la realidad y no una escalada de lo que es”

Users may modify a device, download, or program new applications, invent unintended uses, or develop new practices that leverage its possibilities. This experimentation constitutes a re-negotiation of the power relationships embedded in the technology. This creative re-negotiation is the core of appropriation, the process through which users take something external and make it their own.

Interactions through things, and perceptions about their potential, were ways to negotiate between seemingly conflicting imperatives of the individualism and communalism (A. L. Toombs, Bardzell, & Bardzell). Members would deliberately design activities that were incomplete to encourage a playful material improvisation. In these ways, the “material sensibilities” of members were particularly important. Similarly, reading a history of craft into software hacking, Lingel and Regan (2014) found that software hackers identified their work with craft as process, embodiment, and community. These sensitive readings of interactions with stuff seemed to more accurately capture the genre of hackerspaces, more so than action was guided by culture.
