The Rodina at CalArts

The Rodina was founded in 2011 by Tereza and Vit Ruller.
Czech-born, Amsterdam-based independent graphic designers.

The Rodina works on commissioned design projects, while also experimenting autonomously. The Rodina invents the ways how experience, knowledge and relations are preserved and produced. Interested in connections between culture, technology and aesthetic, The Rodina designs events, objects and tools.

Studio specialises in video, interactive, installations and
visual identities. This cross-media approach allows to examine communication as thousands of small interactions which leads
to actions.
