This contribution aims to interrogate the themes presented in the Werner Herzog film “Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World” from the contributions proposed by the anthropology of science and technology. Taking advantage of the words with which begins his comments the critic of films Diego Maté (Cinemarama. Word Press, January 5th, 2017): “Long ago that Werner Herzog serves as anthropologist”, we can draw a line connector between technological advancements and the culture within which they occur. The movie is about the emergence and development of the Internet and its effects on the contemporary human culture. For this purpose it relies on interviews with different actors: engineers, astronomers, mathematicians, entrepreneurs, members of the scientific community linked to the discovery; and on the other hand the legos that receive the effects of the technoscientific interpellation in their own private worlds. The obtained testimonies realize different approaches, concepts and perceptions by setting a kaleidoscopic look, that destroys any simplistic interpretation, forcing the multidisciplinary reflection. In this sense, the objective is to interpret from the different approaches of the anthropology of science and technology to problems relieved responses attractive and shiny interviewees, achieved by the way the dialectical herzogiana original and deep. So the deterministic positions on technology in human societies, what kind of effects are put into question and relations established between new discoveries and the social, cultural, political, and ethical values of the social world. We ask about the type of meanings inherent in technological innovation and on the other hand, capacity of resignification by subjects.
