Valerian Blos has been an artistic associate for the fundamentals of design and new media in visual communication since 2022. His practice combines tools from the digital spheres, blends them with analog crafts and creates new materialities.

The artifacts and speculations from his work address emerging technologies and social issues. Within this framework, he positions himself between the boundary spaces of art, science and design from where he uses design as a tool for critique and reflection

In his teaching, he negotiates questions of new intermaterialities: What happens when material is no longer tangible? Disappears or becomes imaginary?

New methods of interdisciplinary design and practice-based research are developed and tested together with students.

Valerian Blos received his M.A. from the Berlin University of the Arts in 2018.

Since 2015 he has realized projects in collaboration with scientists and institutions such as TAMA Art University Tokyo, CYENS Cyprus, Naturkundemuseum Berlin, Fraunhofer Institute, Futurium Berlin, Klassik Stiftung Weimar or Max Planck Institute Jena

He is co-founder and member of Solaris Space, an independent studio and project space with a new media focus.
