'''Groupe de Recherche d’Art Visuel''' ('''GRAV''') ("Research Art Group") was a collaborative artists group in Paris] that consisted of eleven opto-kinetic artists.

GRAV was active in Paris from 1960 to 1968.

== Aim ==

Their main aim was to merge the individual identities of the members into a collective and individually anonymous activity linked to the scientific and technological disciplines based around collective events called [[Labyrinth|Labyrinths]].

== Labyrinths ==

GRAV issued a manifesto (1963) which called for the direct participation of the public with an influence on its behavior, notably through the use of interactive [[Labyrinth|labyrinths]].

== Members ==

Members included:

* François Morellet
* Julio Le Parc
* Francisco Sobrino
* Horacio Garcia Rossi
* [[Yvaral]]
* Joël Stein
* Vera Molnár

== Dissolution ==

The members agreed to dissolution in November 1968, based on their recognition that it was impossible to maintain the rigor of a joint program.

== Influences ==

The GRAV manifesto was influenced by [[Victor Vasarely]]'s concept that the sole artist was outdated.
