FOR 3033: The dimensions of techne in the fine arts (manifestations / systems / narratives)

该研究项目调查了艺术生产的那些方面，这些方面可以在启发式意义上总结为术语技术。这些包括知识的表现，这些知识可以教授和学习，有系统的顺序，并实际和习惯地应用。它们还包括由这些知识和技能驱动的控制或直觉行为。每个部分项目的重点将是与技术相关的启示、描述和隐藏的时刻，无论是作为人工制品上留下的痕迹，还是在文件中表达出来，以轶事的形式或以关于生产方式和手段的论文的形式为后代记录下来。研究联盟的目标是探索我们能够观察技术的条件，以开发新的系统方法，并引发关于其在艺术中的作用的智力辩论。与其继续传统的二分法，如思想与材料，形式与材料，设计与执行，这些在研究中仍然部分流行，研究小组认为过程是其主要关注的问题。在这里，形式的概念、关于材料和程序的知识、精湛的工艺和机器制造的精度与对它们的理论反思进入了一种动态的关系。基于这一前提，该小组调查了有意识或无意识地处理材料。它的主题包括艺术技巧和能力的揭示，发明和创新在工作过程中的作用，以及关于知识和技能的理论和话语的发展。这还包括在处理对象时出现故障的可能性。

The research project investigates those aspects of artistic production which may be summarised under the term techne in a heuristic sense. These include manifestations of knowledge which can be taught and learned, put in systematic order, and practically and habitually applied. They also comprise either controlled or intuitive actions driven by such knowledge and skills. The focus of each part project will be moments of revelation, depiction and concealment related to techne, either as traces left on the artefact or articulated in documentation, recorded for posterity in the form of anecdotes or in the shape of treatises on ways and means of production. The objective of the research alliance is to explore the conditions under which we are able to observe techne, in order to develop new methodical approaches and to trigger intellectual debate on its role for the arts. Rather than continue in the vein of traditional dichotomies such as idea versus materia, form versus material, design versus execution, which are still partly prevalent in research, the research group considers the process as such its main concern. Here, conceptions of form, knowledge about material and procedures, virtuoso craftsmanship and machine-made precision enter a dynamic relationship with theoretical reflections upon them. Based on this premise, the group investigates conscious or unconscious handling of material. Its subject comprises the revelation of artistic skill and ability, the role of inventions and innovations within working processes and the development of theory and discourse about knowledge and skills. This also includes the potential for failure in the handling of the object.
