Robot's art
In an ever more robotic society, these artists explore new technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, which is potentially revolutionising human lives and even the conditions in which artworks are produced, presented, disseminated, conserved and received.

Artists and robots: the artificial imagination in power?
In our world universally and uniformly transformed by the progress of artificial intelligence, its scientific, industrial financial and domestic applications, one could think that art would be, to paraphrase André Malraux, the last (direct) path of the human being to the man.
This book focuses on this other aspect of the reign of high technology: the advent of the artificial imagination. Could a machine be able to equal an artist? Could a robot replace a painter or a sculptor? To what extent can one speak of artificial creativity?
Leonardo da Vinci drew five hundred years ago many dreams of machines: floating palace, helicopter, tank, industrial loom ... But this visionary genius does not seem to have dared to imagine a machine that could replace the 'artist.
Machines to create: these are the works presented in this catalog which focuses on the subject of the artificial imagination, in its different artistic materializations, and addressing the major issues that this technical revolution raises.
Artists who create machines that create art.

Long confined to the fields of industry, robots are now more creative
Did you know ?
Jacques de Vaucanson built in 1738 the first operational robot with aflutist android but his best-known model remains the "digester", a mechanical duck that could drink, eat, cuckold and digest as if it were real.

Artists & Robots

2 April 2018 2 July 2018 Exhibition has ended
The exhibition presents works of art made by machines, themselves invented by artists. This interactive journey offers visitors an immersion in the future of the contemporary creation. This exhibition is an opportunity to experience works of art produced with the help of increasingly sophisticated robots. Featuring works by some forty artists, it offers a gateway to an immersive and interactive digital world - an augmented body sensory experience that subverts our notions of space and time. In an ever more robotic society, these artists explore new technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, which is potentially revolutionising human lives and even the conditions in which artworks are produced, presented, disseminated, conserved and received. These works contain a warning. Although Artificial Intelligence can help us, it also threatens to make itself our master by reducing humans to simple slaves to performance.
