Summary: From the artistic proposal "Mouchette.org" (1996) authored by Martine Neddam, this dissertation deals with net.art features focused on the sharing and interactivity. It is our interest better understand the transformations that occurred in personal representations related to artistic production after the spread of internet access. What are and how they occur the processes that enable the survival of a proposal of art based in the mediation of digital interfaces and devices programmed, as is the case of "Mouchette.org"? What are the broad consequences of mutual crossing between the human and technical devices? How can we to think this work of art, that effective itself in staging of virtual personas? These questions composes part of a plot in which cross each the ideas of tecnoimage, programmed devices, "thinking machines", interactivity, incorporation, human as cyborg, nature-culture, staging of multifaceted subject and poetic production on the internet. Each of these points has its network of authors, of which we highlight the comprehension of Vilém Flusser about tecnoimages, the overcoming of the dichotomies of nature/culture and organic/synthetic, by Bruno Latour, and the conception of Lucia Santaella about the human as Being the technique, condensed in idea of cyborg. Of this weft, we extract the flusserian sense of Homo Ludens, as the subject that is the holder of "techno-imagination". The "techno-imaginer" would be the player, able to deliberate on the data available to elicit improbable information. The player's act of deliberating, in "Mouchette.org", happens in conjunction with the mutual incorporation between device, programming, virtual persona, multifaceted subject and information. The union of the concepts of deliberating and incorporate provides the spyglass through which we see the appropriation strategies of art forms based on the internet. In broad terms, with studying of "Mouchette.org", we aim to build critical content about the demonstration and the dismantling of a world perceived and erected through devices and increasingly complex programs.Mouchette.org;Net.art;Deliberation;Incorporation;Appropriation
