In the mid-1950s Swiss artist Jean Tinguely (1925--1991) began
the production of a series titled Meta-Matics: machines that
produced art works. Tinguely not only problematized the
introduction of the robotic machine as interface in our society,
but also questioned the role of the artist, the art work, and the
viewer.
Recently the Metamatic Research Initiative in Amsterdam mounted
a competition to explore the potential of drawing machines for art
today. Ten selected projects prove the continued relevance of the
theme, amongst them a performance-pavilion by Marina Abramovic, a
large environment by Thomas Hirschhorn, and an installation by Jon
Kessler.
Artists include Marina Abramovic, Ranjit Bhatnagar, John Bock,
Olav Breuning, Thomas Hirschhorn, Aleksandra Hirszfeld, Jon
Kessler, Pors & Rao, Joao Simoes, and Brigitte Zieger.
