ref improve date May 2011 The term technoetic was created by Roy Ascott during his career as an artist and theorist in the fields of cybernetics and telematics . Ascott coined the term from a compound of the Greek words Techne and noetikos , and defined it as the quest to understand the effects of technology on consciousness. Definitions Technoetic relates to that which concerns the technology of consciousness. Such technology may be telematic, digital, genetic, vegetal, moist or linguistic. blockquote Technoetics is a convergent field of practice that seeks to explore consciousness and connectivity through digital, telematic, chemical or spiritual means, embracing both interactive and psychoactive technologies, and the creative use of moistmedia. Roy Ascott, 2008 Technoetic Art Intellect Book 2003 . blockquote History of technoetics Technoetics is a syncretic research area linked to the transdisciplinary methodology between art and science. This is rooted in the research of Roy Ascott and of the Planetary Collegium , including its CAiiA Hub, Milan Node and Zurich Node research community. The term appeared for the first time in 1997 in the Ascott paper The Technoetic Aesthetic Art and the Matter of Consciousness . In R. Ascott ed Consciousness Reframed art and consciousness in the post biological era. 1st International CAiiA Research Conference Proceedings. Newport University of Wales College, Newport.

distinguish technocriticism File Luddite.jpg thumb upright The Leader of the Luddites , engraving of 1812 The Luddites were a social movement of 19th century English textile artisans who protested often by destroying mechanized loom s against the changes produced by the Industrial Revolution , which they felt were leaving them without work and changing their way of life. The movement was named after General Ned Ludd or King Ludd, a mythical figure who, like Robin Hood , was reputed to live in Sherwood Forest . ref Cite document url http www.nationalarchives.gov.uk education politics g3 contribution Who were the Luddites and what did they want? publisher The National Archives accessdate 19 August 2011 postscript Bot inserted parameter. Either remove it or change its value to . for the cite to end in a . , as necessary. inconsistent citations ref Background The movement emerged in the harsh economic climate of the Napoleonic Wars and difficult working conditions in the new textile factories. The principal objection of the Luddites was to the introduction of new wide framed automated looms that could be operated by cheap, relatively unskilled labour, resulting in the loss of jobs for many skilled textile workers. The movement began in Nottingham in 1811 and spread rapidly throughout England in 1811 and 1812. Mills and pieces of factory machinery were burned by handloom weavers, and for a short time Luddites were so strong that they clashed in battles with the British Army . Many wool and cotton mill factory mill s were destroyed until the British government suppressed the movement. Formation of movement The Luddites met at night on the moors surrounding the industrial towns, practising drills and manoeuvres, and often enjoyed local support. The main areas of the disturbances were Nottinghamshire in November 1811, followed by the West Riding of Yorkshire in early 1812 and Lancashire from March 1813. Battles between Luddites and the military occurred at Burton ... more details
