DUC C. NGUYÊN: #ArtMTL at @ArsenalArtMtl @PN_MTL @Elektrafestival @patricktresset #BIAN2016 It's always fun to talk with the artists about art, life and artworks. Here is Patrick Tresset with his artwork 5RNP Human Study #1 5RNP Étude humaine #1 is a theatrical robotic installation in which humans become the actors. In a scenario similar to a live model drawing class, the visitor takes a seat, ready to be drawn by five robots. Placed in an ambivalent situation, the visitor is both at the mercy of the robots’ gaze and the object of artistic attention. Like a live model, the human loses its identity, becoming a passive object of study, while the robots take on the role of artistic creator. Despite being immobile, the visitor is an integral part of the installation.
