On the subject of Heidegger, MANIK introduced me to his idea of "techne", which can be seen as a concept of undifferentiated art and technology.

Techne can provide a synthesis (to be dialectical) or identity (to be 'pataphysical) of what still looks like an oxymoron to most people: art computing.

Technology and art do intermix. A full history of art will mention paint in tubes and the development of acrylic resin. And the knowledge of technology does feed into the practice of art, otherwise we cannot account for perspective or colour theory.

It's interesting when both art and science have the same themes without being derivative. Anatomy as a subject of both art and science during the renaissance, or cubism and relativity both using fragmented space.

So stepping back from art and code can lead to techne, as it probably should for many developments in art.

- Rob.

well on this there are different ways of thinking. For example: art is sensations, affects and variables of feeling and being, science is concerned with proof, of finding coordinates, of certainty. Art is always uncertain and full of inconsistencies. However, maybe there is a territory of understanding where there is nonart and nonscience. But that is always something else. That is where techne is.
