Techne: art and technics, as ancient Greeks said.

For them both these activities were so connected, that a single word was enough to name them. The connection has always existed, but it became stronger, first with photography and cinema, then with electronics and video, and finally with the computer's digital culture.

Heir of the 20th century artistic upheavals, today's "technological" art is highly experimental. Artists don't restrict themselves to use state-of-the-art technologies: they try new employments, and work out their "linguistic code". They deal with the most pressing themes of contemporary art: the relationship between representation and simulation, the new condition of image in information society, the relationship between the author and her/his audience (interactivity, collective authoring).
