Today, let's visit a contemporary art gallery in Paris: la Galerie Loevenbruck.
The current exhibit features the works of a 34-year old artist, Stéphane Sautour. He's investigating how new technological tools track us, influence us or even manipulate us.
This story from Le Monde Interactif -- in french, of course -- describes all the works on display. Please read the full article to discover them.
I particularly looked at what was done with two AIBO Entertainment Robots from Sony. Their programmation has been altered to change their behavior. These two robots are aggressive and fighting each other. This was fascinating to watch them.
Here is a small photograph I took today with the gallery's approval.
On separate pages, you can see a larger version of the above picture and the vision from the artist.
This exhibit will run throughout January 11, 2002. If you can't come to Paris, click here to see some of the artist's works.
