About Me	Valéry Grancher is a French Internet-based artist, performer, theorist, curator, and lecturer. Grancher's art is a mix of conceptual and pop art references, sometimes with a sense of humor, sometimes appropriating the fads of the day. When Grancher started in the art world in 1995, he employed email to reveal the processes and exchanges within the Internet community, manifesting in physical installations such as Alone (1995). In 1997 he used webcams in his project webscape, which dealt with the concept of “cybertime.” In 1998, Grancher experimented with pop art in his webpaintings project. In 2002, as Google began to dominate the Internet, he launched the “Search Art” collaborative project by creating a piece called Self Portrait. Google had become a buzzword in the art world, and numerous artists had previously plundered the subject to death. In 2005 he exhibited and sold at FIAC, the international art fair in Paris, “the biggest Google paintings never (sic) produced.”
