ARTISTIC POLICY
Paul Granjon has developed a performance lecture format where he describes the state of his research in the co-evolution of humans and machines. He explains and demonstrates homemade robotic contraptions, accompanied by songs and video. The multi-layered content is delivered with deadpan humour.
REVIEW EXTRACTS

‘Each of his robots is a “semi-naturaloid”, which gives them an attaching humorous aspect.’ Romina Calò, D’Land, Luxemburg
‘Whether watching Paul Granjon perform with his cast of crazy robots or entering the strange world of his gallery installations you know you’re in for a treat.’ Western Mail
