Nicolas Darrot Fuzzy Logic Art Exhibition at Museum Tinguely in Basel

Nicolas Darrot's 'Fuzzy Logic' transforms a converted telephone booth into a dynamic stage for a series of automated sculptures. Visitors are invited to interact with these robot puppets, which sing, dance, and move through programming that embraces the inherent ambiguity and uncertainty of the real world.

Nicolas Darrot’s 'Fuzzy Logic' exhibition occupies Museum Tinguely’s smallest exhibition space, a repurposed telephone booth, which serves as a theatrical stage for five distinct automated figures. These works, part of the artist’s 'Fuzzy Logic' series, explore the intersection of technology, puppetry, and mythology. Visitors can trigger the figures to come to life by scanning a custom-designed playing card, initiating performances where movement, sound, and programmed behavior combine to embody the exhibition's core theme of incompleteness and the natural ambiguity of human thinking. The installation is structured as a series of five acts, each highlighting a specific figure and inaugurated through a special event or dialogue. The artist, Nicolas Darrot, known for his background in film special effects, programs these sculptures himself, blending millimetre-precise mechanical construction with spontaneous, chance-driven choreographies. His practice reflects a deep engagement with the 'Umwelt' or milieu of his creations, positioning the machines not as isolated objects, but as participants in a larger narrative ecosystem that explores systemic and poetic dimensions of the living.
