Neuware -This book explores the notion of 'behavioral objects'-contemporary artworks with the capacity to act and react that exhibit autonomous behavior. For even though these non-anthropomorphic objects make movements that serve no particular purpose, their motion and animation are nonetheless strongly suggestive of behavior. Indeed, they could be said to possess a personality of their own, thereby challenging their status as objects and becoming more like subjects. Uncanny and profoundly unsettling, they question the notion of being alive and, in turn, of being human. With 8 essays, 24 interviews, and summaries of more than 100 artworks, the book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, combining fields ranging from philosophy and art history to robotics, art, architecture, design, anthropology, cognitive science, materials science, human-machine interaction, and computer science.Samuel Bianchini is an artist and teacher-researcher at École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, Paris. Emanuele Quinz is an art and design historian and curator with a full professorship at Paris 8 University. Rahma Khazam is a philosopher affiliated with Institut ACTE at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University; Dieses Buch regt zur Untersuchung von 'Verhaltensobjekten' an - zeitgenössischen Kunstobjekten, deren Handlungs- und Reaktionsfähigkeit eine Autonomie im Verhalten beweist. Auch wenn diese nichtanthropomorphen Objekte keinem praktischen Zweck dienen, deuten ihre Bewegung und Belebtheit nachdrücklich auf ein Verhalten hin. Man könnte sagen, sie besitzen eine Persönlichkeit, die ihren Objektstatus infrage stellt und sie eher als Subjekte erscheinen lässt. Sie sind unheimlich und zutiefst verstörend und werfen die Frage auf, was es bedeutet, lebendig zu sein, und damit auch, was es heißt, menschlich zu sein.Der Band enthält acht Essays, 24 Interviews und Details zu über 100 Kunstwerken und verbindet Ansätze aus verschiedenen Disziplinen und Feldern - Philosophie, Kunstgeschichte, Robotik, Kunst, Architektur, Design, Anthropologie, Kognitionswissenschaft, Materialwissenschaft, Mensch-Maschinen-Interaktion und Informatik.Samuel Bianchini ist Künstler und arbeitet in der Lehre und Forschung an der Pariser École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs.
