Cognito 2.0 is an interactive installation allowing visitors to fall into the mysterious world of a slightly shy robot examining and interpreting our reality. More than just a robot or installation, it is an exploration into our senses, their interpretation and the meaning of reality.

The purpose here is to show that reality is crafted in the human mind. It is not univocal. We perceive it in a very personal way (as colour-blind for instance).

 

 

Matthieu Bogaert and Gaël Bertrand work on digital installations showing the links and connections between the tangible and the intangible, reality and its interpretation through processes linking up the analogical and the digital, the concrete and the abstract, the individual and the collective. Their aim is to give "interpretation" a central place in their work by approaching and studying the link between physical interactions and the digital interpretation.
