Abstract

The inter-human relations based on technical interfaces and telecommunication are creating two main tendencies only apparently antagonistic: an increase in the need to be tele-communicated, and a propensity to transform the "reality" of these relations into mere links between codes and technical images. Action prevails over dialogic relationship. From manipulator of symbols, one becomes a devices operator. In this process, two technical communication devices are increasingly becoming protagonists: the screen and the interface. This trend manifests itself in a kind of "link" communication, object of analysis in this text.
