Summary:Here, I would like to argue the relevance of a way of conceiving and practicing technology which would be less a theoretical and analytical science than a techno-aesthetics: a sensitive knowledge of technè. To do this, I will rely upon the philosophy of Gilbert Simondon, who proposed the foundation of a techno-aesthetics but left this project unfulfilled. I will then draw from the philosopher’s previous work some elements that allow specifying how such a techno-aesthetics can constitute a mode of knowledge attentive to the epistemological specificities of technè, and therefore a form of technology. The categories and modes of judgment of this techno-aesthetics will be explained with reference to Kant and in contrast with him. To support and highlight the cognitive dimension of aesthetics necessary for the qualification of techno-aesthetics as a form of technology, I will turn to the origins of aesthetics with the inventor of the term, Alexander Baumgarten. Finally, I will focus, beyond Simondon, on an eloquent contemporary illustration of techno-aesthetics: the alien phenomenology of Ian Bogost.
