| Riassunto: | This article draws on ethnographical fieldwork conducted in robotics laboratories and in spaces in France for the socialisation of robots. It explores questions related to the context in which photographs are taken, the framing, and types of take, which depend both on the technologies and the different forms of interaction between machines and humans. The article considers the parties involved and the subjects of the snapshots produced by the different actors found in robotics laboratories, with the aim of highlighting the space taken up in the visual frame by the technical environments and by humans. Depending on whether they are excluded from the photo, or in the foreground, they reveal a message about the role of robots in society (as autonomous machines or as the fruits of human labour). These lines of enquiry thus also lead to a reflection on the importance and limits of the technique of ethnographic photography and on the specific ways it needs to be adapted in a high-tech context such as robotics, in order to retain its value as a heuristic tool. |
