The Métamatic Research Initiative’s aim is to promote research on the topic of authorship and authenticity in artistic processes whereby both viewers and objects play a decisive role in the creation of the work. At the same time the Initiative strives to promote research that places Tinguely within his historical and the contemporary context. The Métamatic Research Initiative plans to develop a wide range of activities to achieve its aims, both in artistic and academic fields. The goal is to produce a number of seminal works of art and groundbreaking academic research, both dealing with the issue of authorship, as well as the role of the object and of the viewer in contemporary art. We hope that this will ultimately lead to a better understanding of the importance of the Métamatic works, and bring about a lively exchange on the topic of authorship and artistic authenticity.
