Marriachi Brothers “I am always fascinated by robotics, its benefits and its contradictions. Who has never dreamed of owning a robot for make all the dirty work?”.
“But what is the border?

That is what I want to make: caricatures of robots that have exceeded this border, all bathed in a fanciful vision of the future.”.

(Stéphane Halleux, translated from le blog Art & Déco)
