well on this there are different ways of thinking. For example: art is
sensations, affects and variables of feeling and being, science is
concerned with proof, of finding coordinates, of certainty. Art is
always uncertain and full of inconsistencies. However, maybe there is a
territory of understanding where there is nonart and nonscience. But
that is always something else. That is where techne is.

On the subject of Heidegger, MANIK introduced me to his idea of
"techne", which can be seen as a concept of undifferentiated art and
technology.
Techne can provide a synthesis (to be dialectical) or identity (to be
'pataphysical) of what still looks like an oxymoron to most people:
art computing.
Technology and art do intermix. A full history of art will mention
paint in tubes and the development of acrylic resin. And the knowledge
of technology does feed into the practice of art, otherwise we cannot
account for perspective or colour theory.
It's interesting when both art and science have the same themes
without being derivative. Anatomy as a subject of both art and science
during the renaissance, or cubism and relativity both using fragmented
space.
So stepping back from art and code can lead to techne, as it probably
should for many developments in art.
