Aline Veillat
From the first of her travels, Veillat developed a feel for the changing of worlds and the comforts of home that can be found in the unknown. Most of her work is done as new-media installations in which she seeks to transform the spectator into a visitor-wanderer-explorer. Whether using natural elements like a river or plants to transform a space, or voice to confide an experience, each of her installations need to be discovered patiently by observing and listening— none can be seized with a first impression. Through the use of contemporary technology, Veillat makes us perceive the world around us— a world in motion, even if imperceptible, and its involvement in our lives. Like the protocols of experimentation in the Sciences and Humanities, nobody— not even the artist— knows exactly what will happen, what will become during this exploration.
