Does the influence of machine intelligence, and the coincident avoidance of risk, homogenize creative thought? These ideas are explored in the work of 38 established and emerging artists in a variety of media including painting, drawing, sculpture, sculpture, video art, computer art, and performance. Featured artists include Joëlle Tuerlinckx, Ed Atkins, Esther Ferrer, Mounira Al Solh, and Shezad Dawoud. The book takes its title from a town on the French-Belgian border with a history as a well-known customs outpost.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Emanuele Coccia</b> is associate professor at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris. <b>Dirk Snauwaert</b> is director at WIELS Contemporary Art Centre. <b>Marina Vishmidt</b> is lecturer at the Centre for Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London. <b>Vivian Ziherl</b> is research and program manager at Witte De With, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
