  • Absolute Mountainbike! by Ian Porter

    Taken at Glentress, near Peebles. The picture has been converted to black and white and the brilliance/contrast altered. Finally, I posterized it slightly. The bike is a Kona, btw.

  • The Bird Shop -Marrickville by Lila Alias

    Marrickville (in Sydney, Australia) was where I grew up as a child. It will always hold the softest fondness in my heart. / I love the cultural mix there, to me it is one of the most socially unique places in the whole world. A mix of old 1st generation migrant Greeks (who are now quite well off and comfortable, with huge families), young migrant Vietnamese who work very hard to support their families, (many can’t speak much English and there are a LOT of Vietnamese owned shops along Marrickville road), and theres the trickle of the Newtown arty types who simply cannot afford to live in Newtown anymore and wish to create Marrickville as second arty hot spot. / The lingual clashes between the old Greeks, and the young Vietnamese are common and quite amusing. Greeks know how to speak English, but are too patriotic to Greece to speak it. The Vietnamese struggle with English, and because there are so many other Vietnamese, they end up speaking their language. Neither of the Ethnic majorities really understand each other, and it causes some fairly interesting conversations. Especially in shops. This shot was taken when driving through my old suburb on Mother’s Day. An old man had set up his little shop, selling birds and tubs of honey from the boot of his car. / This is my first attempt at selective colouring on photoshop. I am quite proud of how it turned out. And may I say, the car was really that blue!

    It was a little piano…White linen settees soon stain.

  • Front Mech by Ian Porter

    This is something I found lying around in my garage amongst other bits of bikes.

  • Writing

    The clarity of stars in granite country…sometimes the cover of a sale yard shed - / sometimes the below bridge song of all night semitrailers

About This Group

Techné focuses on artistic interpretation of craft, tools and technology both ancient and current. It is interested in our relationship to the philosophy and practice of Technology – from the ancient crafts of wood, iron and stone working and tools, through to digital machine logic circuits. Techné is not so much interested in how various technologies help us make and display art but where technology enters the frame so to speak. Techné – Plato’s ‘arts of the mind’ where all that we call art and all that we call technology (or science) come together into a creative whole.
