Agenda

This conference attempts to establish the links between friends and AI (artificial intelligence). At a time when AI girlfriends are proliferating on the internet, the question arises: will our friends soon be replaced by AI? Without making any judgments, I try to understand how we have come to be friends with machines and what future this implies.

This talk will be an opportunity for Haydée Marin & Camille Besson to share insights into their artistic paths, their collaborative duo practice, and the creation of Café des Glaces, an independent art space they founded in 2021 in Tonnerre, France.

During my studies at the fine arts school, I worked for three years alongside Malian women in an association in Montreuil. I knitted while they sewed boubous. Then I filmed ritual drawings made by women on the thresholds of houses in southern India. Since then, I have constantly moved around to better understand the world we live in.

A conference on the art of storytelling through still life. A look at objects by detaching them from their primary functions. Techniques for creating compositions and the basics of still life photography.
