Daniel Aulagnier's Baroque Mechanology
Daniel Aulagnier's early work in the 1970s involved his own body in performances and paratechnological processes. Today, his body is metaphorically integrated into a machinic corpus, exploring tensions and forces. His machines reject utility, as seen in the series 'Brut', which reflects on human mechanization and loss of meaning.
