Aurélien Lepetit (based between Amsterdam and London) is a visual artist who uses threads to translate and archive cosmotechnical, biological and biometrical information. He interlaces them through hand made techniques such as plant dye, embroidery and weaving to create textile-lexicons as visual constellations. Lepetit is currently interested in the concept of wetware and the dissolution of information in water-based systems. By exploring the historical and technical connections between textile and computing, Aurélien intertwines his research in what could possibly be a "liquid code".
Over the past decade, Lepetit's work ranged from endurance-based performances (2016–2020), site-specific installations (2017–2022), digital happenings (2020–2022), to hand made textile-database systems (2023–present).
