Être Machine - Solo show of Antoine Schmitt

The exhibition “Être Machine” transports us into a parallel or future universe in which we would form a shared society with machines and their algorithms—freed from their subservience to human beings and having become fully autonomous and responsible. It invites us to consider the perspective of machines as artificial beings immersed in an environment populated by other beings: humans.

In these times marked both by identity-based withdrawal and by a reconfiguration of our relationship to the living world, the exhibition space thus becomes a space for dialogue and negotiation between entities placed on equal footing—the site of a transbiological encounter, an opening toward otherness.
