Angelos Floros

Presented: Athens School of Fine Arts, Athens, 2012 

In this lecture was presented the research hypothesis of my educational, research and professional work. A various of projects were included analyzing the digital and interactive design process. in the following thematic issues: Representation, Interactive Design Modules, Physical Computing Procedures and Realization.

As a freelance researcher, I participated through the leader position in Visual and Interactive Design -mostly for Exhibitions such as Venice Bienniale, Prague Quadriennial, etc.- in collaboration with the leading universities, institutions, foundations, museums, publishers, and governmental authorities of Greece, such as the Athens Academy, the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, the University of Athens, the Foundation of Hellenic World, the National Archaeological Museum, the Hellenic Ministries of Culture and Education, and many others, framing and developing a plethora of research projects beyond the traditional boundaries of Interactive Media in Urban Cultures.

For me, each project, educational, academic, research or professional, is a medium to extend the boundaries of my cognitive modules, embodying social and cultural characteristics in design process. All of these years I explored design aspects in Interactive Architecture and Digital Media. My academic and professional philosophy is to focus in a Research process able to provide:

a) a comprehensive glossary for the students,

b) a content(ed) ark for clients, and

c) a next generation eventful playground (platform) for the society.

The lecture was part of the “Extending” Workshop, hosted by the Athens School of Fine Arts of Greece in Athens on July 2012.
