Jan Poš studied at the Faculty of Art and Design of Jan Evangelista Purkyně University at the Department of Electronic Image in the progressive multimedia studio Time Based Media under the guidance of Daniel Hanzlík and Pavel Mrkus. He is currently studying at the Sculpture 2 studio under Tomáš Hlavina at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. His current work deals with the relationship between real and virtual environments. He explores their mutual relationship and breaks the boundaries between them. To do this, he uses 3D computer programs, creating various simulations that he further materializes in the real environment. Formally, his works are on the edge of sculpture, object, and installation.
Prague Transport Company (DPP) intends to build on the Prague metro's architectural, artistic, and design values. Competition dialogue launched by the Prague City Gallery has the ambition to enable the creation of a new lighting object but also to open up the possibility of thinking about light in the metro in the wider context of the architecture and design of the luminaires themselves.
The subject of the competitive dialogue was the design of new lighting in the passage that connects the two vestibules of the Florenc metro and leads from it to the bus station and the streets of Karlin. The new design will be one of the first contacts for many passengers with the city.
