Resumo: By associating processes of constitution of digital objects to the concept of gambiarra, we aim to uncover the modes of existence that render the gambiarra as a crucial operator in the relationship between techniques, bodies and society. The aesthetic, political, and cognitive dimensions of the concept form an alternative version of technicity that allows us to understand the complex and even paradoxical aspects of digital sociotechnical formations. The empirical demonstration of these ideas will take place in three levels: the redirection of capacities of processing in video game consoles and video cards; the reconfiguration of software and user interfaces; and the resulting invention of rhythms and ways of seeing, feeling and acting in video games.

As dimensões estéticas, políticas e cognitivas do conceito compõem uma vertente alternativa da tecnicidade que permite elucidar o caráter complexo e muitas vezes paradoxal das formações sociotécnicas digitais. A demonstração empírica dessas ideias se dará em três níveis: o redirecionamento das capacidades de processamento de consoles de video games e placas de vídeo; as reconfigurações do software e das interfaces gráficas; e a consequente invenção de ritmos e formas de ver, sentir e agir nos video games.Universidade de São Paulo.

The aesthetic, political, and cognitive dimensions of the concept form an alternative version of technicity that allows us to understand the complex and even paradoxical aspects of digital sociotechnical formations.
