Julien Masson

“I am a French artist based in the UK. I have lived in and studied Fine Art in France, the UK and Italy. I also have a Masters in computer animation. I have had exhibitions in the UK and internationally, on public and private commissions. All of my works are, in some way, related to technology and our relation with it. As an artist, I wish to expand the notions of what is Art and participate in the very dynamic dialogue between digital technology, Science and the Arts.”

Julien is one of our members featuring their work as part of the ClimateCultures Quarantine Connection series. We shared his piece, Skin Deep, on Day 26 of the 40-day series.
