aurèce vettier

ALL ARTISTS

"I am not interested in reinventing what already exists, but rather by using tools that explore the latent space of dreams, memory and nature. Because that’s what we are: human, whose beauty comes from imperfection and whose amazement can occur at any moment, in the twinkle of pareidolia."

  1. aurèce vettier is an art project founded in 2019 by French artist Paul Mouginot. This alias, formed using an algorithm, is a metaphor for the desire for a collaborative, open and hybrid approach.


  2. This identity, like all of aurèce vettier’s work, allows for a lot of back and forth between the "real" space in which it is possible to exist, to draw, paint, sculpt, break, erase; and the "data" space, where it is possible to play with more dimensions than a human can grasp. In this virtual space, which may involve AI algorithms or heavy mathematical processing, aurèce vettier explores new forms, which are then deployed as tangible objects, in close connection with many crafts.


  3. Poetry is the backbone of aurèce vettier’s entire practice, whose first work was to publish a book of poetry in collaboration with a machine. Without ever replacing the artist, the algorithms thus served as a camp aid, generating raw material that was subsequently assembled by hand.


  4. Another AI-assisted project, the Potential Herbariums series comprises oil paintings, bronze sculptures or digital works representing impossible forms of plants dreamed up by artificial intelligences, which could have been found on the slopes of Mount Analogue, the mythical mountain of René Daumal’s unfinished work.


  5. aurèce vettier collaborated with legendary generative artist Vera Molnar on series AD.VM.AV.IA based on a detail from Albrecht Dürer’s engraving. Curated by Vincent Baby, this collaboration marked the first time Molnar worked with AI.
