The Read and Weed Center (Centre de Tri Visuel or CTV in French ) comes out of a two year project at the 3bisF, an art center located onthe grounds of a psychiatric hospital in Aix-en-Provence. The Read and Weed Center is an experimental service for developing new approaches, attitudes and applications for consuming glossy magazines. The Center was activated several times around (filmed on each occasion) for all those who frequent the 3bisF (patients, unemployed, retirees, students). Activities range from leafing to full fledged prototype development. The final piece is currently in the works: it will take the form of an installation using the orginal furniture, prototypes and video monitors to present the different departments of the Read and Weed Center (Protocole, Prototypes, Publicity).

The animated sequences that follow are in French. To sum up, the first explains the basic approach to the Read and Weed Center, while the second deals with waste management.
