« Welcome to the enigma of the virtual ». (Pascal Beausse)
At a time of radical evolution in this Information Age, Marie Maillard transcribes the future in images that emerge from reality towards reshaping it. She anticipates the consequences of virtual intrusion on our daily environment.
Her artworks test the becoming-image of our realities. Maillard’s Video- Wallpapers express the idea of an inhabitable, enveloping image that moves beyond the screen, taking over the architectural space. It is no longer an image that is looked upon, rather an image that one inhabits.
The image is imposed on reality, redefining it aesthetically. Through these intrusions of the visual space, endowed with an intelligence of its own, Marie Maillard introduces doubt to our understanding of what distinguishes the virtual and reality.
