10.10 > 10.11.2015 – phAUTOmaton de Philippe Boisnard – Quinzaine des arts du futur

As part of la Quinzaine des arts du futur (Maison Folie Beaulieu) and Renaissance (Lille3000), Jacques Urbanska (curator for Transcultures) presents ‘phAUTOmaton’, a work by French media artist/developper Philippe Boisnard.

‘phAUTOmaton’ is a participatory work that can be installed in any location or any event . The public is invited to write a word or a phrase , once it typed and validated , it provides real-time picture of each participant. The latter, after choosing his pose and his sentence validates a second time and the textured image is shot. In real time, the photograph appears on a website that is dedicated to the event. This site , which is presented as a kind of photographic gallery, highlights the sense in which the faces and thoughts are connected in a face shape community.
