15 TO INFINITY AND BEYOND! Tomotaka Takahashi & Emmanuel Grimaud First of all, To infinity and beyond! is the catchphrase launched by Buzz Lightyear, the spaceman character in Walt Disney s Toy Story. This rallying cry is full of promise and utopian hope, evoking new conquests and an insubmersible imaginary dynamism. To infinity and beyond! also suggests a more spiritual quest, in which the very notions of infinity and what is beyond come up against and even clash with the theme of the exhibition: robots & automata. Invoking the machine as an image of man that is sometimes stylised, sometimes realistic, robots & automata are seen here as offering new answers that reach a long way beyond the dream formulated nearly ninety years ago by the Czech writer Karel Capek, in which the robot was expected to take man s place at work.

17 BODY MECHANICS Stelarc During the last decades of the 20 th Century, the barriers between art, science and technologies vanished while new forms of aesthetics appeared. Engineering and scientific technologies gave rise to a new imaginative world and original aesthetic inventions. Stelarc, the Australian-based performance artist and hybridization pioneer, was an active participant in the cultural and political debate on extending the human body and enhancing its capacities through human-machine interfaces, prosthetics and robotics. It is no longer a matter of perpetuating the human species by REPRODUCTION, but of enhancing male-female intercourse by humanmachine interface. THE BODY IS OBSOLETE. This declaration, which may seem provocative in the realm of contemporary creation, offers a different social and political perception of the human body and of the world in the midst of new technologies.

18 VIRTUAL / PHYSICAL BODIES body>data>space This exhibition should be seen as a stroll in the realm of possibilities, where the body, through experimentation, is either a standard model or consumed by the territories of its own creation. By changing the initial question and allowing a multiplicity of answers, «Virtual / Physical Bodies» extends the body and adds a virtual dimension to its physical reality. The body is therefore no longer only a biological entity: it becomes a technological and immaterial background for the scenarios where it is in turn captured, imagined, pixelized, modelled, animated, directed within real, everyday-life territories such as architecture, cities and exhibition spaces.
