Kálmán Tarr

Kálmán Tarr serves as an external lecturer at the Design Institute of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME), the same institution where he completed both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Media Design. Currently, he is advancing his academic pursuits as a doctoral candidate in Multimedia Arts at the MOME Doctoral School.

His educational background includes:

• Bachelor of Arts in Media Design, Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design
• Master of Arts in Media Design, Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design
• Doctor of Philosophy (in progress) in Multimedia Arts, MOME Doctoral School

Tarr's academic and research endeavors center on the integration of technology and creative practices. His fields of education encompass microcontrollers and human-computer interfaces, while his research specifically targets the development of accessible environments for artists and designers. This focus manifests in his creation of interactive installations and tools that bridge artistic expression with technological innovation, fostering new modes of engagement and creativity.

Although no formal advisees are documented, Tarr has successfully secured competitive funding, notably the EU’s Social Challenges Innovation grant for a collaborative project with Makerspace. His scholarly contributions extend to international platforms, with presentations at the Cumulus Conference, Making Futures Conference, and the Disability Studies Conference, alongside global exhibitions of his artistic works such as "Stage of Impossibilities" at the Both Ways exhibition in Trieste and the Hungary Live Festival in New York City.

Collaboration is central to Tarr's practice, as evidenced by his partnerships with Makerspace and co-creations like the interactive installation "Alchemy of Knowledge" with Renáta Dezső. His work frequently appears in transdisciplinary contexts, merging art, biology, robotics, and special needs education, reflecting a commitment to socially engaged and inclusive design.
