Highlight
Michel Paysant is a visual artist specializing in research between art and science. His works, installations and performances establish bridges between art, craftsmanship, science, techniques, new and very high technologies. They are often carried out in collaboration with scientists, technicians and craftsmen in different fields: nanotechnologies, cognitive sciences and eye-tracking, classical and experimental design, braiding, ceramics and glass.
He collaborated with Michel Bouriau, co-founder and CTO of Microlight3D, to create micro-heads exposed in the Louvre Museum in Paris in 2012. In 2018, he presented the tiniest 3D-printed self-portrait ever exposed.
The tiniest self-portrait of Michel Paysant is only 80 µm high.
