Technique over Technology Workshop:

• http://irational.org/heath/techniqueovertechnology/

A day of theoretical and practical distillation of
technology into technique.

If technology is considered as a mediation device to
mitigate against loss or unwelcome facilitation of
exploitation then any departure should be a step towards
freedom and wealth.

A journey into the domain of pure technique would appear
to be the way to go.

Results and conclusions from this event are intend to be
applied to the efficient running of the IRATIONAL server.

Technology: The scientific method and material used
to achieve a commercial or industrial objective.
Technology at best is a poor replacement of what has been
lost either by design or accident and at worst an integral
component in the engineering of that loss.

Technique: The systematic procedure by which a complex or
scientific task is accomplished. Technique can be the
creation of more by using nothing more than ordering of
sequence and spacial relations.
