Piotr Gryz

Piotr Gryz serves as Assistant Professor at the Władysław Strzemiński Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź, leading the Digital Media Workshop within the Institute of New Media and Composition. His academic responsibilities include developing curricula for bachelor's degree students in room 171 of the academy's pavilion B at 121 Wojska Polskiego Street, Łódź.

His research and pedagogical focus centers on Digital Media and New Media, with specialized expertise in Digital Imaging techniques. The workshop curriculum comprehensively covers raster, vector, and 3D graphics; real-time image generation for games and visualizations; interface design as both artistic tool and medium; and interdisciplinary applications including discursive geometry and dynamic media. Instruction emphasizes integrating traditional artistic principles with contemporary digital technologies while exploring critical art, appropriation practices, and transmedia creation.

Dr. Gryz's educational philosophy bridges technical proficiency in digital image preparation (for video, projection, and print) with conceptual development, encouraging students to leverage technical devices as creative instruments. The program contextualizes digital media within modern discourse, addressing propagation methods through television, internet, and mobile channels while prioritizing artistic intuition over transient technological trends.

He collaborates with Marta Kosior, M.A. on workshop coordination, maintaining the institute's mission to merge classical art education with new media innovation. The Digital Media Workshop specifically trains students to produce message-driven visual works that navigate the evolving relationship between technology and artistic expression in contemporary culture.
