Artysanat

If the boundary between art and craft has always been difficult to draw, today it is even more permeable with the arrival of technologies capable of reproducing the work of the human hand. By turns craftsmen, designers, photographers, sculptors, and sometimes all at once, the artists in this selection produce works that are veritable condensations of technicality, whether automated or manual. While they sometimes call on cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, they also revisit ancestral methods where calm and patience are de rigueur, the combination of these skills leading to a redefinition and new incarnation of aesthetic codes. Is it still possible to distinguish the work of man from that of the machine? This tour questions the role of the hand in contemporary production, whether by its absence when it is replaced by an algorithm, or by its obvious presence when the work reveals a commitment to the artist's gesture and body.
