Join us for an artist talk with Sofie Mart and Enrico Viola at the Machine Arts Kiosk on the Sep 26 at 7pm ✦

At the Machine Arts Kiosk exhibition, Sofie and Enrico will present their project Resonance.

Resonance is a real-time machine drawing performance in which a plotter translates the sound of a playing record into a drawing produced directly on its label. The system synchronises several temporal layers at once: the rhythm and dynamics of the music, the movement of the drawing machine, the accumulation of marks, and the continuous rotation of the record itself. Rather than treating the plotter as a standalone tool, the work combines it with the turntable as a second mechanical system, creating a hybrid instrument whose behaviour emerges from their interaction. Each drawing is generated live and remains specific to the record, the music, and the duration of the performance. Designed as a site-specific public interaction, Resonance invites visitors to select a record, play it, and leave with a machine-drawn label produced in response to that moment.

Patrick Tresset is a French artist known for his performative robotic drawing installations. Since 2009, he has built machines that act as characters in performances about human presence, absence, attention, and boredom. The sitter, the robot, and the audience become part of a shared encounter where stillness and gesture meet. Today he works with embodied AI agents as actors that tell visual stories about us. Through the act of drawing, these systems develop their own way of seeing, one that emerges from how they’ve learned about our culture.

Sofie Mart interviews Patrick about his practice, the role of performance and embodiment, and what happens when machines learn to see and draw.

Thank you all for joining our keynote in Zürich yesterday! Vibes were awesome! 😍

Big thanks to @sofiem.art (and @armin.aschenbrenner) from the @machineartsgroup for giving the presentation on how humans and machines can work together in new ways, and how designers and artists can create meaning through that. 🙏

The first VF Keynote of 2026 – Between Humans and Machines: Making Meaning Through Digital Craft 🤖

When machines can make almost anything, where does meaning come from – and what is left for humans to do?

Join us on January 20 as Sofie Mart (@sofiem.art) and Armin Aschenbrenner (@armin.aschenbrenner) of the Zürich-based Machine Arts Group (@machineartsgroup) explore how digital craft creates meaning through hands-on collaboration between humans, machines, and materials. Working with embodied AI, robotics, and physical materials, they show how making can become a dialogue – and why that matters in an age of endless AI output. 🤖

Making today isn’t just about output. It’s about care, experimentation, and finding meaning through practice.

What will you learn? 🛠️ Why the gap between code and material is a creative opportunity  🛠️ Why making meaning matters more than producing more 🛠️ How hands-on, DIY practices help reclaim creative agency in the age of AI 🛠️ How digital craft becomes a dialogue between humans, machines, and materials

📅 Tuesday, January 20, 6:30 PM / 18:30 Uhr 📍 Kulturhaus Helferei (@kulturhaus_helferei), Zürich 
🔗 RSVP via link in bio (English & free 🎉)

We can’t wait to kick off this year’s keynotes with this one.
See you there! 😇

Some highlights of the Expressive Machines exhibition we curated at AI+X Summit last week💫

Featuring three live installations:
✍️ Patrick Tresset with the embodied drawing agent, a robotic companion that sketches in response to your prompts.
🖼 Sofie Mart with the image-interpretation techniques showcasing the visual language invented by a machine.
🎨 Michael Stroh with e-David, a robotic painter exploring the boundaries of mechanical creativity.

A heartfelt thank you to the @eth_ai_center and everyone who made this amazing event possible!
