Paul GranjonPaul Granjon is an artist and educator with a strong interest in sustainability. Having worked in
the field of robotic art for many years, he currently applies low-tech principles to his practice
through minimal use of new materials and off-grid solutions. The works developed for
EASTN-DC are the most recent examples of this direction, including works for activist purposes,
participation art, and off-grid interactive sculptures that combine hand-carving with electronics.
EASTN-DC, European Art-Science-Technology Network for Digital Creativity, is a network dedicated to the time-based digital arts: musical arts, visual arts, performing and interactive arts. It is gathering 16 partners in 13 different countries from Europe to the Americas. They will host and exchange about 70 creators in the frame of a 16 international events tour spread over 4 years. These privileged moments, in direct contact with the audience, will frame a new and systemic approach, binding the Knowing “Disseminate”, the Learning “Inseminate”, the Making “Collect”, a digital creativity factory leading to a creative citizen.
