Biography
Born in Caracas, Venezuela, 1965. Lives and works in Paris, France.
Elias Crespin started off his career as a computer science engineer in Caracas. His work on software programming inspired his first sculptural experimentations in 2002, leading to the creation two years later of his first work, Malla Electrocinética I, 2004. His practice is at the crossroads of kinetic art and robotics. It draws both from the history of geometric abstraction and his profound knowledge of computer
programming, and questions the interactions of art and technology.

They were shown in important exhibitions at the Galeries du Grand Palais, Paris, the ZKM Center for arts and media, Karlsruhe, the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing, or the Musée de la Musique, Paris.
