About

Hi, I am Janosch. (b. 1995)

I am a communication designer, teacher, dancer, and visual artist.

I hold two master's degrees, one from the Iceland University of the Arts on the Icelandic history of immigration and how fiction can create a new mythology for an overlooked part of society and a second from the University of Arts and Design Karlsruhe on cartography, oppression, terraforming and bodies. I am focusing on topics of body, geopolitics & myths.

In my artistic practice, I combine hard design skills such as coding, bookmaking, image manipulation, videomaking, and typography, with methodologies of theory and fiction such as writing, dramaturgy and research.

I hold a seasonal teacher position at the Iceland University of the Arts for the course Digital Methodologies (10 ECTs).
