Paul Granjon is an artist and educator whose self-made machines explored the co-evolution of humans and machines with a humorous and critical perspective. The work questioned the validity of a creeping digitization that tends to replace living beings with digital programs and creatures, supporting a society based on economic profit, surveillance and extraction.

His interest in vital issues of resilience and ecological implication grew over the years, based on the conviction that a renewed relationship with plant, animal and mineral beings and environments, combined with a radically re-imagined use of technology are crucial pre-requisites for a good life on earth.

Current practice-based research includes the design and delivery of participative art activities and artworks that combine creative technologies and bio-life with a joyful dimension. The work aims to alleviate eco-anxiety and to stimulate an ecosophical approach to everyday life. Paul currently teaches Fine-Art at Cardiff School of Art and Design.
