Summary/Abstract: This brief essay intends to examine the superimposition of virtual and empirical landscapes with regard to the concepts of biopower, identity and utopia. The landscape, broadly speaking, is analyzed both as a natural space colonized and shaped by technology and as a virtual and utopian project exhibited by political power. In this sense the paper reflects on how hybrid landscapes combine to organize and reflect at once the new technological identity of the contemporary civilization.
