political agency

During our MFA field trip last weekend, Mark Allen at the Machine Project in LA said something that really struck me. To paraphrase:
The less agency one feels and the more dependent on only a role as a consumer, the less able to react, think for oneself, feel empowered and able to enact change.

So, as a maker of things... how can something create both a tactile experience and at the same time exist outside of the cloud of consumerism we live under?
