Humans and machines: Do we speak the same language?

Conference
October 3rd 2019, La Condition Publique, Roubaix (France).




Digital technology has brought a major change, our relationship to the tools in our work or our daily lives has been through this technical and social change. Artists have an important role to play in this transformation, they too have seen their work modified by these digital tools, changing their relationship to technique and medium.
This professional day proposed by la Condition Publique and l'Espace Croisé invites us to reflect on the relationship between man and machine in the context of contemporary artistic creations. The objective is to study the critical and aesthetic potential of the machine used within works of art.
What is the relationship to language between the creator and the program, between the public and the work? What is the limit of comprehension of these machines? and of their possible resistance or refusal to obey?
