Élie Bolard (Pontarlier, 1999) develops a practice centered on contemporary technologies, questioning their operation and the monopoly of technical knowledge. His installations and sculptures blend artisanal and industrial styles. All of these installations are motorized and inherently sonic: the electronics are visible and the mechanisms audible. These machines echo a standardized world where gesture is omnipresent. Automation plays an essential role in his work, from a theoretical, critical, and visual perspective. Endowed with their own intelligence and reactions, these machines invite the viewer to consider them as beings in their own right. Everything is in motion, everything is alive, but the human being is no longer invited, or is reduced to the role of producer.
