thinking about techne and gnosis and technoetic:
by ‘technoetic’ I mean ideas of artists and thinkers such as roy ascott who writes:
beyond the dry world of virtuality and the wet world of biology lies a moist domain, a new interspace of potentiality and promise. i want to suggest that moistmedia (comprising bits, atoms, neurons and genes) will constitute the substrata of the art of our new century, a transformative art concerned with the construction of a fluid reality. this will mean the spread of intelligence to every part of the built environment coupled with the intelligence that lies within every part of the living planet. this burgeoning awareness is technoetic: techne and gnosis combined into a new knowledge of the world, a connective mind that is spawning new realities and new definitions of life and human identity.
techne, gnosis, technoetic
