London-based art and design collective rAndom International was founded in 2002 by Hannes Koch, Stuart Wood and Flo Ortkrass. rAndom International have developed a series of artistic projects and installations that aim to re-interpret the “cold” nature of digital-based work by providing the viewer with the opportunity to have a more hands-on experience with technology. More recently, their work has investigated the potential of adding behavioural qualities to usually in-animate objects and environments. Apart from experimental works rAndom realizes commissioned works for clients such as Philips, Fiat and Nokia.
