Grayson Earle is a contemporary artist and tactical media practitioner from the United States, based in Berlin. His diverse technological practice is unified by a political approach to media arts. His work examines the role that digital technologies and networks play in resistance and political agency, with sustained attention to labor and surveillance, frequently intervening in real world spaces and systems.

He is a member of The Illuminator, a guerrilla projection collective, and the creator of Bail Bloc, a software project that mined cryptocurrency to post bail for low-income people in New York City. His film Why don’t the cops fight each other? dissects the source code governing police behavior in video games and has screened at the Singapore Art Museum, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, and was an awardee of the 17th Busan International Video Art Festival.

Embracing an interdisciplinary posture, Earle has taught programming and new media as a professor at Oberlin College, Parsons School of Design, The New School, and the City College of New York. He has held residencies at Akademie Schloss Solitude, Pioneer Works, and BPA// Berlin program for artists, and has presented research and artist talks at The Magnum Foundation, The Vera List Center, and Theorizing the Web. He is currently the technical advisor for the Web Residency program at Akademie Schloss Solitude and a scholarship recipient in Critical Philosophy at the New Centre for Research & Practice.
