AUD-802
Mode of Movement or Moved Object?
AUD-802 project is drawn around the issue of mobility, mainly materialized today by the automobile. It is built in the form of a series of stops. At each of these stops we question the city, its background and landscape.
AUD-802 is composed of three parts: AUD-802 [étape Anvers], an inflatable structure (representing at scale 1/1 a car, the license plate of which has become the project title); AUD-802 [étape Bruxelles], installations realised for each stop; and AUD-802 [déviation Blois], a website that is also the fixing point of this touring project.
"The exhibition proposed at la Maison de la Villette is presented as being the Launch of the Project AUD-802. It initiates the beginning of a route, starting in the green of the Parc de la Villette, which will be constituted by stages during which the overview of the car object (realized by an inflatable structure) will permit the constitution of a memory stored on the web site.
This exhibition consists of the Web site, which moreover allows the guests to adjust the sound atmosphere of the place, of the car object suspended in space and of video images where it becomes alternately toy, bait, monument or landscape. It also appears as a skin which is inflated, deflated, stored and put away. Contrary to the reality to which this object sends us back, it is no longer the mode of movement but the moved object."
