TECHNE is the open context of all acts of production that use tools and infrastructures This thread of studies is specifically concerned with contemporary, digital media and technologies that host and direct performative practices, such as computational tools, social networks, databases, algorithms, Mixed and Virtual Reality. However, pre-modern and pre-digital forms of language, artistic writing, and their theoretical foundations are part of reflecting the contemporary paradigm, that is itself increasingly understood in technological terms.

Classes along the axis of TECHNE as a module are taught by our Technologist, Tamas Pall and other invited Visiting Artist Lecturers. In TECHNE we research and study techniques, processes, and theories that enable us to develop and deepen a cross-disciplinary and cross-media artistic practice on a variety of digital and web-based platforms. TECHNE fosters an expanded and holistic understanding of technologies and their applications in art and society that are elsewhere read as belonging to distinct disciplines or fields and are perceived as disconnected from each other.
