Special issue « Actor/Machines

Auteur : Clarisse Bardiot

F rom acting-machines to the machine-actor, from machine plays to machine code, from flying machines to the rise of the machines, a whole section of the performing arts is now enjoying, with the advent of digital technology, of artificial intelligence programmes and of remote controlling, a spectacular revival. With Louis-Phillipe Demers, Bill Vorn, Heiner Goebbels, Kris Verdonck, Antoine Schmidt, Transquinquennal
