In this article we introduce the concepts of arrangement and machinic phylum, created by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, to underline the silicon inside the contemporary arrangement Man-Nature. Silicon (Si), the highlight of microelectronics, becomes expressive subject of an ethics and an aesthetic. In order to map the forces in action in some arrangements Man-Silicon, we seek to create a thought-image of a silicon aesthetic, which expresses a mode of existence. In this way, we map a few support lines of a control society and others which act in breach with that. With art, at the age of planetary computerization, we find lines oriented to a new creative and singularity process, able to promote changes in man's positions, toward to another mode of existence carried with some aesthetic values.
