Grok Institute is a new-format Digital Art, Light, Video and Music event curated by Jean-Robert Saintil and Andrew McPhee. We have created Grok Institute as a vehicle to help make the London we live in now live up to our imaginations and expecations from years gone by. If you aren't happy with something, change it.
