From curators Jason Arsenault and Andrée Duchaine:
"These artists' observations give rise to the various hypotheses underlying their work. They create spaces of enquiry using new media, through which they convey the complexity of the body's experience. Here, technology is transformed from its everyday uses into works of art without idealizing its function or exploiting it in a technical demonstration. Bachmann, Roussel, and Tingley accentuate its imperfections, weaknesses, and shortcomings — akin to those of the human body. Their work suggests a body laid bare as machinery, which takes shape through the installation, objects, or the immersive environment."
