Art is expression. Artists avail themselves of modalities and provide us with intuitive gateways to original thought expressed in ways that allow them to be shared by all.
Technology is a part of this artistic expressive world. It has a life origin that is fluid, mobile, responsive and yet directional. Both the investigations of the global art world and the international technological scene are multidirectional and sometimes unpredictable. Artists, entrepreneurs and scientists push boundaries and make advances at the frontiers of technological advance everyday.
Artists and Scientists these days openly investigate the world together in the style of the great Leonardo Da Vinci. They perform these inquiries by looking, exploring, investigating, recording, puzzling, thinking, wondering and formulate hypothesizes and theories about the world.
Schools are now choosing to formulate their structure and infra structure around intentionally created “Cultures of Inquiry.” Students are continually invited to inquire into experience of the world and investigate ways to experience their surroundings. These surroundings can be global in nature because of Technology.

The application of new technologies, particularly computers and software applications, has been a major factor driving Queensland’s productivity growth in recent decades. www.smartstate.qld.gov.au/strategy/strategy05_15/glossary.shtm
Art can be described as "the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others" (Britannica Online)
