Synthetic characters have always existed, but the evolution of current technologies offers our generation the opportunity to give them a new characteristic: the appearance of life. The use of Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Animation technologies opens up the possibility for these characters to interact with us both on a semantic and an animal register, spontaneously mobilizing the whole body. Questioning this relationship within an ethical and artistic framework allows us to better understand the trust that we can feel towards them. Beyond the fantasy of the demiurge, this could foreshadow a new relationship with technology by questioning our relationship to others and our relationship to their difference.
