Élie Bolard

Élie Bolard (Pontarlier, France, 1999) is interested in all types of contemporary technology, questioning the way they work and the monopoly of technical knowledge with humor, playfulness and derision. His Master's thesis dealt with techno-totalitarianism and technological dangers. Most of his work is presented in sculptural or installation form. He mixes clumsy bricolage industrial language by appropriating the techniques of metal, electronics and digital fabrication. He sets up autonomous machines creating their own atmosphere, which visitors are invited to explore.
