Artists have always made use of the tools and materials of their times. Thus, an increasing number of artists are turning to the creative potential of digital technologies, which are also used by researchers in their laboratories. In doing so, they accept what the conditions of machines all the while adding elements of unpredictability to their creations. The machines or robots are sometimes the subjects of photographs or films that other artists produce, to experiment in new forms of empathy.

​

We have a certain familiarity with the works of art that emerge from the use and/or observation of the technologies that shape our relationships to the world as well as to others and to ourselves. Recognizing the technologies of our daily lives in an artistic context makes us consider them differently. Knowing that it is in contact with others that we build ourselves, it is high time to consider this other "machinery" that we are increasingly encountering without knowing it too well. Devoting an exhibition to machines and the ideas or aesthetics that emerge from them means accepting their teachings.
