Aude Moreau
Aude Moreau’s interventions and installations tend to express the physical experience of a territory’s spatiality by recycling the different residual experiences of the ‘utility and productive whole’. Operating both with a conceptual approach and the use of strategic realization procedures, these residual experiences are often arranged through the use of topographic or cartographic data. Each of these interventions diverts the productive purposes of measurement strategies and surveys of human’s activities by recycling these ‘less productive spaces’ in the aesthetic sphere. This reversal of productivity involves some skepticism on the world's intention to "objectively" understand, and encourage transparency of information that would have conquered the entire territory. Everything would thus be visible and readable or in the process of becoming it.
