Each has his own tastes, Gods and men alike.

(Euripides–Hippolytus 104, from Erasmus)

Trust, from being granted upon creation, is now an essential premium for creative work. Technique made some form of “art” possible through the feat of technique. The trusted eye doesn’t juges how the “art” was made, but reveal important dimensions, crediting all actors involved in the production of art.

Excellence, savoir-faire, and savoir-être are three interconnected concepts that embody a holistic approach to personal and professional development.

Boxes can be fun, but more importantly, they are useful.

“Technique encompasses the totality of present-day society,” wrote Ellul. “Man is caught like a fly in a bottle. His attempts at culture, freedom, and creative endeavour have become mere entries in technique’s filing cabinet.”
