Publisher: Yale University Press
Nicolas Schöffer (1912–1992), a French artist of Hungarian origin, although relatively unknown today, was a significant figure in the art world during his lifetime. His 1956 work CYSP 1 is considered the first cybernetic sculpture, utilizing motors, microphones, and photo-electric cells to create a work based on feedback loops and responsiveness to its environment. For Schöffer, cybernetics enabled a crucial artistic exploration of the boundary between the living and the technological. This significant reevaluation of Schöffer's work features sculptures, paintings, and drawings, including unpublished pieces from the artist's studio and archive, as well as documentation of his interdisciplinary and experimental collaborations with architects, musicians, choreographers, scientists, and industrialists. Particular attention is paid to the innovative work he created between 1945 and 1975, which takes on particular resonance in our current, digitally saturated world.
