technoetic
Technoetic is an adjective describing ideas, practices, and research that explore the integration of technology with human cognition, perception, and knowledge production. It is most closely associated with the field of technoetics and the art- and theory-focused inquiries into how digital media, networks, and intelligent systems shape consciousness and culture. The term is commonly linked to Roy Ascott, a British artist and theorist whose work since the 1960s has emphasized telematics, cybernetics, and networked collaboration. Ascott and others used technoetic to denote an interdisciplinary approach that treats technology not as a tool alone but as an integrated agent in the co-creation of meaning. The related term technoetic arts refers to practices, writings, and exhibitions that investigate the convergence of art, science, and technology, often through participatory projects, interactive installations, and online platforms.
Technoetic thinking often centers on collaboration, emergence, and the destabilization of traditional boundaries between producer and
