He graduated from Fresnoy (jury honor, 2016)

His artistic work gives rise to situations we could imagine coming from a dystopian universe strangely close to the world we live in. His projects can be very heterogeneous: film whose dialogues are generated by an artificial intelligence, robotized phones pronouncing reworked extracts of the Bible, cubic automatons moving on the ground, spider robot whose behavior is influenced by the emotional state of the artist...

All of these projects implement new fictions from the sciences, and propose the bases of a technology-fiction no longer turned towards a distant future but anchored in our contemporaneity. They initiates potential and poetical scenarios where attributes specific to humans and more generally to living beings (language, speech, text, movement ...) are now to be shared and negotiated with the machine.

« Fabien Zocco is interested in the more immaterial traces of human activity to be found in cyberspace. He generates his video works from fragmentary images and texts. These he compiles from the Internet and other databases by means of algorithms. Having studied history prior to attending art school, Zocco has always approached his work with a fascination for the complex layers of knowledge by means of which we construct our sense of world. »
