Florian Olloz is a lecturer and educator at the Institute of Arts & Design Education. His work involves participatory art, moving images, installations, and research in the field of design education. He works at the intersection of community-based media, digital and analog prototyping, and socially engaged creative processes. In his teaching, he focuses on iterative methods and the exploration of circular approaches in technology, design, and education. He is particularly interested in how prototyping can bridge disciplines and encourage multi-perspective collaboration among students, practitioners, and communities. In parallel, he is actively involved in cultural development in the field of the creative industry. He pursues his own artistic and mediatory practice, which blends audiovisual performance and media-archaeological experiments — driven by the conviction that technology can only be truly understood through alienation and questioning.
