The real problem with contemporary technology is not when it hides techne, but when it fails to, when it forces its users to apply axle grease or dig around in the muck of detail. |
The notion of techne is not approached from the viewpoint of the technician as such. |
My work seeks to destabilize the illusory notion of one's power over his techne. |
Techne can be understood neither as art or craft, the reason being that the distinctions of art and craft are historical products that came later on in human history. |
Here the design concept is placed at the centre of the nexus of the meaning of cultural production that rests on the three pillars Segno, Mythus, and Techne. |
But one aspect of contemporary technology is that it almost eliminates any sense of techne. |
