The new communicative technologies brought forth different forms of collaborative practices that cross different fields of daily life, transforming the sphere of feeling. This article is an invitation to think about the networks in the dimension of their ecological sensitivity from collaborations that overcome the great separations of Western thought – between human, technology and nature – thus compromising the complexity of our days. It is based on the concept of ‘net-activism’ in order to understand how the new forms of power and activism cross the sphere of feeling so that we can empirically take a look at the artistic collaborative experiment Letters to the Earth.
