Summary/Abstract: The topic of the article is asymmetrical relation between a user and a system, the latter understood as an obscure structure, shaping forms of interaction between a human being and technology using soft power. It is visible in a contradiction between a language (called chirping) of system-generated messages present in digital daily life, and their persuasive and oppressive impact, compared with examples of subversive strategies practiced with tactical media art, such as: obfuscation, over-identification and estrangement as well as theoretical proposals of tactics as a form of soft resistance.
