Florian Goldmann studied fine arts with a focus on sculpture and new media in Edinburgh, Athens, and Berlin. He graduated from the Berlin University of the Arts in 2012 upon completion of the publication Flexible Signposts to Coded Territories (AKV Berlin, 2012), which analyzed the graffiti of soccer fans in Athens as a potential system of fluid signage. He is currently pursuing his PhD, investigating the utilization of models as means of representing, communicating, and commemorating catastrophic events, as well as predicting them. His analysis will deal with physical miniature models as well as with digital visualizations and animations. Since 2012, Florian has been working as part of the collective STRATAGRIDS.
