Yiannis Kranidiotis

Yiannis Kranidiotis (Athens, Greece) is an artist whose work explores the relationship between science and art, using mainly light, motion, and sound to create spaces and experiences where all coexist and interact. He often engages the visitor through interaction, while at other times he uses data to drive the motion, light, and sound of his works. He is interested in exploring physical phenomena well as in creating sonification methods for scientific data from sources like exoplanets, gravitational waves, and the solar wind. The climate crisis and the increasing pollution of the planet with plastic are issues that also affect his practice. He has collaborated with choreographers and theater directors in interdisciplinary projects, designing digital artworks, VR environments, and light installations. He holds a BSc in Physics from the University of Patras and an MSc in Optics and Lasers from the University of Essex. He is currently a PhD candidate at the Department of Digital Arts and Cinema of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
