HUMAN VERSION 2.0

YVES GELLIE

Day after day, we give more and more power to machines for example decisions, judgements, intervention and memory, to a point where our dependence has become increasingly obvious.
We are not far from considering imminent fusion with the machine, from successfully extending longevity and perfecting artificial intelligence. These works explore the world of major scientific research laboratories dedicated to the development of humanoid robots. These robots bring questions about the destiny of humans, the outlook of humans on themselves, on their conscience, on their evolution and their future.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

French born, Yves Gellie studied medicine at the University of Bordeaux. He practiced tropical medicine in Gabon before beginning his career in photography. Yves’ work lies between documentary and contemporary art and he has developed a style described as an iconographic selection of the reality underlying day-to-day life and its trivial aspects.
