Sommerer/Mignonneau
The works of Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau explore the relationship between art, science and technology.

The confrontation of real and virtual systems requires conscious interaction and exemplifies the interdependence and cooperation of both models. Both live and work in Kyoto (J).
