Techne= an "art"

"....we haven't really looked at what technology has done to art. Is it possible that given the emergence of technology, we will start to view art in a different way?" What interests me about these questions is that technology is itself the "study of art" ("techne" means "an art"). To me, technologies are all human interventions in the world; technology is the art of changing the world as it is. In what ways, to you, are "art" and "technology" different things?
