May 30, 2019, marked a significant milestone in my academic journey: my participation in the Congress of the Association francophone pour le savoir at the Université du Québec en Outaouais. During this prestigious event, I presented my talk entitled “Corps vivant et objet technologique, entre discours philosophiques et créations artistiques” (“Living Body and Technological Object: Between Philosophical Discourses and Artistic Creations”). This presentation was an opportunity to share my research on the intersection between technology and the human body in contemporary art.

Corps vivant et objet technologique, entre discours philosophiques et créations artistiques (“Living Body and Technological Object: Between Philosophical Discourses and Artistic Creations”), presented as part of the open communications at the Congress of the Association francophone pour le savoir at the Université du Québec en Outaouais.
A Dialogue Between Philosophy and Art
My presentation focused on how contemporary technologies influence the representation of the body in art. I explored various works in which the human body and technology intertwine, raising questions about identity, machinery, and mortality. This intersection creates fertile ground for philosophical debates about the nature of human existence in the technological age.
Stimulating Interactions
The reception of my presentation was extremely positive. The questions and discussions that followed enriched my understanding of diverse academic perspectives on the subject. This exchange strongly reinforced the importance of interdisciplinary research and collaboration in contemporary studies.
Personal Impact and Reflections
Participating in this colloquium not only allowed me to highlight my research but also strengthened my professional and academic network. This experience encouraged me to continue my investigations into how technologies transform our perception of the body and identity.
The presentation at the Acfas Congress emphasized the importance of art and philosophy in understanding contemporary challenges related to technology and the human body.
