A hexapod (a six-legged robot resembling a large mechanical spider) displays behaviors that seem to alternate between moments of calm and aggressive stances. These shifts in behavior are directly linked to the artist's emotional state, which is connected to the robot via the internet using a wearable device throughout the exhibition periods of the work.
Fabien Zocco's works lay the foundations for a techno-fiction where attributes specific to humans and, more broadly, to living beings (language, speech, text, movement, play, etc.) must now be shared and negotiated with the machine. His work has been presented in France, China, Mexico, Canada, Poland, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and online. Fabien Zocco is a graduate of Le Fresnoy (2016).
