| Summary: | Artists increasingly choose scientific devices and even its methodology as the center of their practice. Is this the expression of a desire to base creation on objectively established knowledge, in a society still largely subject to positivist models? Moreover, can and should their work, which constitutes a true "act of investigation", lead to knowledge comparable to that of a scientist? The study of the living, in particular, occupies an increasingly primordial place within contemporary art, especially in the development of experiments often inspired by the model of the so-called "hard" sciences, whose object of investigation is the animal. In this context, is an artist-scientist merely a chimerical figure or does he have the means to incite us to consider extrahuman representations? |
