Por definição corrente, interface é um sistema ou dispositivo através do qual entidades não relacionadas podem interagir. Para traçar o estado actual do interface, propõe-se uma exploração da sua condição, partindo do reconhecimento do espaço relacional que comporta propriedades dos sistemas em ligação, para o constituir como uma entidade que tem características próprias, emergentes dessa ligação. Esta entificação implica a inscrição do interface num espaço-tempo e, consequentemente, a sua ligação à noção de experiência que, por seu turno, o associa à mediação.
Através da teoria dos media surge a problematização da superação do interface: coloca-se a possibilidade deste ser uma componente intermédia num processo que caminha no sentido da desincorporação total dos media, marcando uma tendência para o apagamento dos interfaces; coloca-se a possibilidade inversa de ele ganhar importância, pois essa desincorporação implica uma capacidade dos media de penetrar e serem penetrados pela experiência humana, precisamente através de interfaces, ainda que cada vez mais imperceptíveis.
Do we still need interfaces? The interface is a system or a device through which non-related entities can interact. Our purpose is to study the current condition of the interface, regarding it not only as a relational space that gathers features of the entities it relates, but also as an entity in itself with its own features. The interface entification is accomplished by its inscription in spacetime. This inscription connects the interface to the notion of experience and, consequently, to that of mediation. 2 Through the media theory, especially the media dematerialization, we observe the possibility of overcoming the interface: we test the hypothesis of its progressive disappearance, since they seem not to be needed anymore; and we also test the inverse hypothesis of its growing importance, because this disembodiment implies that the media are able to penetrate and to be penetrated by human experience, through interfaces, even if imperceptible ones.
