The research method was the analytical. The relevance of the issue is to create reflexive tension about the conceptual set of Vilém Flusser, in order to compare it with the model that we live in society. It is defended the possibility of surpassing machines and, through art, allowing people to feel themselves free, capable of doing something by themselves without the use of technique, to perceive themselves as desirous human beings. The research was based on the theoretical contribution of Vilém Flusser, with references to Hans Jonas’s ethic of responsability.
