Patrick Tresset Live on MoCDA

We are talking to Brussels-based artist, Patrick Tresset, who develops theatrical installations with robotic agents as actors. Tresset’s installations utilise computational systems that aim to introduce artistic, expressive, and obsessive aspects to robots’ behaviours. These systems are influenced by research into human behaviour, more specifically how humans make marks, depict other humans, how we perceive artworks and relate to robots. Tresset also uses robots and autonomous computational systems to investigate these drawings and painting practice.  We created this as a response to COVID-19. These talks are a way of documenting the times we live in and to share thoughts from international artists and the art industry in times of social distancing.  I hope you won’t mind the quality of the recording as all of the talks were live-streamed from Instagram.  Thank you to all the artists, curators and art experts who took part in this series.               Follow Patrick:          Website: www.patricktresset.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/patricktresset Twitter: www.twitter.com/patricktresset Facebook: www.facebook.com/ptresset LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/tressetp Follow MoCDA:          Website: www.mocda.org          Instagram: www.instagram.com/mocda_        Twitter: www.twitter.com/mocda_          Facebook: www.facebook.com/mocda.org         LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/mocda
