Artistic background:
Aline Veillat was born in 1967 in Réunion Island in France and works and lives in Basel. She holds a PhD degree in Aesthetics, Sciences and Technologies of Arts from Paris University and a MA degree in Digital Media from Lausanne Cantonal Art School. Her artistic work is based on her interest in the perception of space, and she often focuses on what is part of, or what constitutes the environment that influences the perception of space. As a consequence, the visitor’s mobility is crucial in her works, and they all end up as installations in which visitors can move around and explore. Aline’s works were exhibited, among other places, in the Kunsthalle Palazzo in Baselland, the kult.kino camera in Basel and the Migros Contemporary Art Museum in Zurich.
During her residency in China Aline Veillat intends to create artistic works in which she translates abstract and complex scientific data by building aesthetic relations giving the visitors the possibility to “feel” them. Conceived as a mix-media installation, the work will offer to visitors a bridge between number and phenomenon by taking them for an explorative walk through an environment influenced by the Chinese landscape approach.

I want to study plant physiological processes within the root, stem and leaf of trees under varying environmental conditions at the Swiss Federal Institute of Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL. My work mainly will consist of an open series of experimental studies, such as audio-video works, performances, drawing and writing. My studies are aiming towards a greater understanding of mechanisms and processes of trees as they are growing in their natural and controlled environment. The aims is to create situations where environmental and physiological confluences become apparent and tangible, working towards an unpredictable, live and/or interactive event that allows an intimate experience of the interior of trees.
