Artistic practice

Bidault-Waddington organized her practice via "labs" all part of the LIID Future Lab to pursue her research on urban development, immaterial economy, images, value and knowledge in the broader context of digital and environmental transitions. As a post-conceptual artist, her statement has been since 2000 that Art is a multifaceted way of thinking, producing knowledge and experimenting that has a value far beyond the art domain. Her practice shows similarities with the emerging field of Critical Design and speculative design.

These laboratories' output includes exhibitions, workshops, conferences, artist talks and publications and mixes artistic, academic and future insights.

Her work is often financed by structures outside the art world such as a corporation who aims to benefit from the knowledge production mechanisms surrounding art as a force of creation and renewal.[1] In this instance, the artist's laboratory acts as service enterprise for which she develops particular research tools such as the aesthetic audit, an experimental audit method she applies to both corporations and cities.[2] The findings of her research can take the form of texts, conceptual diagrams,[3] image compositions or site-specific installations.
Bidault-Waddington is a member of the New Club of Paris, an international network of immaterial economy and innovation experts.

LIID Future Lab

LIID was founded in the year 2000 by Raphaële Bidault-Waddington and stand for Laboratoire d'Ingénierie d'IDées (Idea Engineering Lab). In 2006 it was renamed LIID Future Lab.
In 2003, an extensive study on the future of Christiania mapped out the path LIID would later continue on, mixing Art, Economy and urban development.
Its most notable project to this day is Paris Galaxies, an ongoing future research about the making of the Greater Paris by 2030. Paris Galaxies is attached to the Pantheon-Sorbonne University's ACTE Institute and was awarded the Paris 2030 research grant (City of Paris) in 2012 (period 2013–14) and again in 2014 (period 2015–16). This project includes an "aesthetic audit" of the artistic constellation of the Greater Paris (beyond the Périphérique Bd), and a series of experimental research workshops at the Paris College of Art,[4] Campus Fonderie de l'Image school, Ecole d'Architecture Paris Belleville, CNAM, and the Atelier International du Grand Paris,[5] such as the Grand Paris Futur Lab.[6] In 2017, a Design Fiction experiment results in a book "Paris Ars Universalis, scénario fiction d'un futur Grand Paris" (Avant-Garde Collection, L'Harmattan).
Since 2011, LIID collaborates each year with Peclers Future Trends to co-create their global forecasts - Cahier Futur(s) - and a series of urban prospective studies. The topics addressed range from the construction of the self and identity codes, to the future of the collaborative economy, the city and AI.

In 2017 and 2018, LIID Future lab worked with the LUMA Foundation in Arles to design future scenarios for the city.
Other notable partners of LIID are or have been the SciencesPo School in Paris, Architecture Faculty of Republica University in Montevideo, Aalto University in Helsinki, Institute for the Future in Palo Alto California, the Center for Molecular Medicine in Stockholm and Tongji University in Shanghai.
