Mirai Moriyama, a Japanese actor/dancer, is asked to interact face to face with a robot animated by a form of primitive intelligence based on a neuronal system programmed by Ikegami Lab (Tokyo University). Using a deep to learn system, the robot is able learn from his experience with humans and develop his own reactions. The work focuses on the unstructured languages and the dialogue between the two entities imagining the future of the interaction between humans and robots.
Justine Emard explores the image with photography, video, installations, augmented reality, through screens, frames and out of field ideas as well as interactions with devices which simulate the reality to project the audience into augmented and fictional parallel universes. Her work has been shown in Sweden, Norway, China, Brazil, Colombia, Japan, South Korea among others, in solo and group exhibitions since 2012. Emard collaborated with the Pavillon Neuflize OBC, Palais de Tokyo in Paris between 2013 and 2017. In 2015-2016, she was a resident in Cité internationale des arts in Paris. In 2017, she is laureate of the residency Hors-les-murs of the Institut Français and Tokyo Wonder Site in Tokyo. Her residency project explores a cross between robotics, intelligence and artificial life, based on experiences of deep learning and human-machine interaction. She participates to «CloudsForests», the 7th International Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art.
