Lecture: Nicolas Nova

Nicolas Nova questions the place of montage within digital art projects that rely on algorithms that automate creation, using a corpus of significant examples of these productions. Far from delegating the creative act to machines, Nova shows how machines programmed by the human hand produce new forms of cultural hybridisation that recombine pre-existing content into a singular original assemblage.
