Art is expression. Artists avail themselves of modalities and provide us with intuitive gateways to original thought expressed in ways that allow them to be shared by all.
Technology is a part of this artistic expressive world. It has a life origin that is fluid, mobile, responsive and yet directional. Both the investigations of the global art world and the international technological scene are multidirectional and sometimes unpredictable. Artists, entrepreneurs and scientists push boundaries and make advances at the frontiers of technological advance everyday.
Artists and Scientists these days openly investigate the world together in the style of the great Leonardo Da Vinci. They perform these inquiries by looking, exploring, investigating, recording, puzzling, thinking, wondering and formulate hypothesizes and theories about the world.
Schools are now choosing to formulate their structure and infra structure around intentionally created “Cultures of Inquiry.” Students are continually invited to inquire into experience of the world and investigate ways to experience their surroundings. These surroundings can be global in nature because of Technology.
Technology is

- the set of tools both hardware (physical) and software that help us act and think better. Technology includes all the objects from pencil and paper to the latest electronic gadget. Electronic and computer technology help us share information and knowledge quickly and efficiently. What was previously slow and tedious is now easier and more realistic. ...home.earthlink.net/~ddstuhlman/defin1.htm
- Human innovation in action that involves the generation of knowledge and processes to develop systems that solve problems and extend human capabilities; www.doe.mass.edu/frameworks/scitech/2001/resources/glossary.html
- A piece of equipment or a technique for performing a particular activity.www.gcrio.org/ipcc/techrepI/appendixe.html
- Modern technology is increasingly science-based, but also includes methods of organisation as well as physical technique. The application of new technologies, particularly computers and software applications, has been a major factor driving Queensland’s productivity growth in recent decades.www.smartstate.qld.gov.au/strategy/strategy05_15/glossary.shtm
Art can be described as "the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others" (Britannica Online)
Art Tech is a mode of investigative inquiry that is informed and inspired by the processes and the very nature of the techniques that are used to invent them.
