Artist Statement

The studio’s interest lies in engaging the public in the social, historical or scientific context of a place. With a multidisciplinary approach, Chomko & Rosier create interactive installations, experiences and sculpture for the public realm. The studio’s work spans research, conceptual development, design and production, working corroboratively on a range of commission based and self-initiated projects.

With backgrounds in interaction design and architecture respectively, Jonathan Chomko and Matthew Rosier have been collaborating on public artworks since 2013, working between the fields of art, design and technology.

Chomko & Rosier’s work identifies compelling narratives within a place and responds through artistic intervention. With a strong conceptual approach, the studio’s focus is also on how the public experiences the work. It is through the use of design and technology within their work that they are able to create interactive structures and experiences that seek to engage the public in narratives, ideas and each other.  

The studio’s work has been installed nationally and internationally, has been recognised as a Design of the Year by the London Design Museum, and won the Innovation Award at the Museum & Heritage Awards. Previous clients include the UK Space Agency, Historic Royal Palaces, National Trust, British Council, FutureEverything, Illuminating York, Watershed and Media Ambition Tokyo.
