Amazingly articulated body / Corps articulés
Au fur et à mesure que les robots deviennent de plus en plus sophistiqués, leurs mouvements sont encore «robotisés». Peut-être que nous avons ici une grande source d'inspiration pour les ingénieurs qui développent les robots (le plus ressemblant possible aux humains)
As robots are getting more and more sophisticated, their movements are still "robotic".
Maybe we have here a great source of inspiration for engineers to develop human-like motions.

Ainsi pour moi une photographie n’est jamais finie jamais aboutie elle peut muter et se transformer. Bien sur ce procédé détruit le caractère documentaire de la photo et accentue encore l’écart entre l’objet photographié et la photographie.
Je pense que mon travail rentre le contexte actuel qui ’utilise la photographie « non pas comme l’usage du procédé photographique comme outil ou vecteur d’art mais de l’adoption de la photographie comme matière. - André Rouillé».
A partir d’une photographie document je fais en sorte qu’elle devienne une photographie matériau."

Scientists create the world's smallest 'snowman' - Telegraph
By Murray Wardrop
Published: 9:04AM GMT 04 Dec 2009The snowman is made of two tiny tin beads, normally used to calibrate electron microscope lenses, which were welded together with platinum Photo: Dr Cox / National Physical LaboratoryExperts at the National Physical Laboratory in West London made the miniature figure which is just 0.01mm across.
However, far from the thrill of rolling balls of snow around a field to build their masterpiece, it was assembled using tools designed for manipulating nanoparticles.
The snowman is made of two tiny tin beads, normally used to calibrate electron microscope lenses, which were welded together with platinum.
A focused ion beam was used to carve the snowman's eyes and smile, and to deposit a tiny blob of platinum for the nose
It was put together by Dr David Cox, a member of the Quantum Detection group at the laboratory, who also took the picture.
However, Britons searching for the real thing will have to head for the northern hills of Scotland, where forecasters say there is a chance of snow falling over the weekend.
Meanwhile, the Alps have seen heavy snow falls in the past week allowing the ski season to get under way at many resorts. Andermatt in Switzerland has received nearly 40 ins (100cm) of fresh snow.
The NPL is one of Britain’s leading science facilities and research centres. It is a world-leading centre of excellence in developing and applying the most accurate measurement standards.
