Valéry Grancher (born April 22, 1967 in Toulon, Var, France) is a French Internet-based artist, performer, theorist, curator and lecturer. Biography Grancher's art is a mix of conceptual and pop art references, sometimes with a sense of humour, sometimes appropriating the fads of the day. Grancher is best known for selling Internet art in the contemporary art mainstream. When Grancher started in the art world in 1995, he used emails in his art to show the processes and exchanges of the Internet community (email art) in physical installations like '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.' In 2005, he exhibited and sold at FIAC, the international art fair in Paris, 'the biggest Google paintings never (sic) produced.'
