Luc Grenier
 LG-1UCCG

is an interdisciplinary artist working in Boston with a variety of art media: print and publishing, film and video, media arts, and performance. He has earned two degrees from Tufts University and the SMFA where he graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BA in International Literary and Visual Studies, and a BFA in Studio Art. He is a recipient of the Schwartz-Paddock Fellowship of Visual and Performing Arts, and his thesis project for the Department of ILCS at Tufts Univeristy was awarded Highest Thesis Honors. Since 2022, He has exhibited work in the SoWA Art + Design district's Bromfield Gallery, participated in showings at the Boston Art Book Fair, and NOVA Interdisciplinary Art Festival at the New England Conservatory among other venues.

Grenier's primary concern is communication using time and its palpable subjectivity in how it's experienced through the sequencing inherent to a diverse set of mediums while exploring lexicons of intimacy, honesty, and the sharing of secrets. Given contemporary social conditions that make creating distributable media akin to sending a message into an algorithmic sea, Grenier seeks to make art within the context of this cultural capacity to engage with media in a form familiar to the moment.

The artist uses webgazer.js to track their eye movements across the screen while watching a film. In response to the data received through viewing, these CMY and CMYK Risograph prints document the areas in which the viewer’s eye spent the most time. Supplemented with augmented reality capabilities, each print is animated to illustrate the time-based process of ‘watching’ over the static image.
