This research has as main objective the analysis of projects 2 and Karlskrona Superchannel of collective Superflex, Denmark, and projects Frivolity and Folly and Fripperies and Trimmings, of the group De Geuzen, the Netherlands, in the light of the theory of relational aesthetics of Nicolas Bourriaud. From the 1990s, Bourriaud set the parameters for contemporary artistic production that is based on and is embodied from social exchanges. Given this theoretical framework, the relevance of the research lies in the fact that focus on productions that use digital cyberspace and language as means of dissemination and transmission of artistic proposals - language and tools then viewed with reservation by Bourriaud. The problem of research, ultimately theoretical, lies precisely in this tension between the internal relational aesthetics of the French philosopher and the chosen corpus. Established relational groups, such as De Geuzen and Superflex, advocate the use of technological devices and declare that, in some art propositions, technology and the Internet facilitate and potentialize objectives of social exchange. Both groups focus more on the network relations provided by the Internet than the technology it encloses. They both make use of the digital language as relational/communicational tools. Thus, it is clear that, unlike what Bourriaud thought, it is not the fact that these groups use the technology that they lose their relational character. For the demonstration of this reflexive perspective, this work has considered alongside the research, the theories of Lemos, Lovejoy, Lévy, Trivinho, Virilio and Baudrillard on cyberculture, and the reflections of Musso, Parente, Prado, and Miltrop Latour, among others, on the networks. The theory of society as a network, designed by Castells and for which contributed Mafessoli, had significant importance in this research. Other important findings were made by direct research on the groups websites and through personal analysis of their works and access to documents submitted by them in symposia and electronic publications. In addition to the corpus of the study, art expressions that use technology and social exchange, as the foundation of production, were also presented, such as the propositions of tactical media and locative media as well as experiments in social networks
