8. The Garden of Love

9. The Concept
• A bench, a street light, a dustbin,
perceiving their environment, having
behaviors and in relation with each
other and with their human
environment
• Reproducing the stakes of
Marivaux’s theater (seduction,
cheating, treason, manipulation)
• The garden’s configuration is never
the same, depending on the
environment
• Services and existential questionning
coexist

10. Marivaux & robots : the stakes
• Situations more than characters
• No gender issues in their games
• Importance of desire and libido
• Social situation are more important
• Looking for the « other »
(hurman and robots)
• Importance of social hierarchy
(user > bench -> Light -> Dustbin)
• Services as well as respect are due
