La Classe, Human Study #4 is a theatrical piece where twenty robots act as stylised pupils. Their studious behaviour is modulated by their attention, boredom, shyness, nerdiness, and is disturbed and distracted by their colleagues or the public’s activities in the room. Using robots as minimal actors, Patrick revisits his interest in the representation of the human tendencies towards conformity and obsessiveness while at the same time expressing the passing of time through mark making.
