Among the innovations of this artist are the project created by the artist Leandro Summo. The latest evolution of his Corps Sans Organes project is an installation of artificial lights that reflects an imperfect indicator of our bodies, trying to represent their pure presence and materiality through light. Throughout this artistic presentation, together with the collaboration of Kuka and Top Color Dream, a Kuka articulated robot will create three works in expanded polystyrene, under the expectant gaze of the public, through a computational code. This will be the artist’s first approach to sculpture
