Bio

panGenerator is a new media art & design collective based in Warsaw, Poland, (Krzysztof Cybulski, Krzysztof Goliński and Jakub Koźniewski). Since 2010 the group creates unique projects exploring new means of creative expression and interaction with the audience.

Their works are characterised by blending ephemeral digital realm with physical world. panGenerator is mixing bits & atoms to create audience-engaging, dynamic and tangible experiences in opposition to typically static, hermetic and unapproachable conventions prevalent to traditional, mainstream “modern art” practice.

panGenerator blurs the common divisions between art, design and engineering, creating large scale interactive installations commissioned by cultural institutions and commercial brands as well as purely experimental musical interfaces or speculative and critical pieces of art. Apart from their creative endeavours, the members of the group are engaged in various education initiatives, providing workshops and lectures on new media art and technology worldwide.

In Poland after World War II, many designers were active in creating graphic symbols. Due to specific political conditions, these projects could be much more free and artistic than in the West. Besides the Polish poster, it is the graphic symbol that is particularly noteworthy when it comes to design in Poland.

It's not unique to Korea; a one-sided relationship has no future, so please work with people who respect and acknowledge each other's value.

Polish design culture is deeply rooted in a rich tradition of poster art, known as the "Polish School of Poster Art," a movement that combined bold graphics and a strong sense of symbolism to convey complex messages with minimal resources. Contemporary Polish design often draws inspiration from this heritage, including "designing by hand", while blending it with a modern, digital aesthetic.
