Florian Ortkrass is a founder of collaborative art studio Random International. Established in 2005 with co-founder Hannes Koch, Random International is a studio for experimental practice within contemporary art. The studio is today a wider team based in London and Berlin.

Questioning aspects of identity and autonomy in the post-digital age, the studio’s work invites active participation. Random International explores the human condition in an increasingly mechanised world through emotional yet physically intense experiences. The artists aim to prototype possible behavioural environments by experimenting with different notions of consciousness, perception, and instinct.

Their work Rain Room is in the collection of Los Angeles County Museum of Art having been exhibited under the museum’s historic Art and Technology initiative. The artwork has also been shown at the YUZ Museum in Shanghai (2015), the Museum of Modern Art, New York (2013), and London's Barbican (2012). An edition of Rain Room will become the first permanently installed artwork at the Sharjah Art Foundation (UAE) in 2018, and be housed in its own building.

In 2017, their work Zoological debuted at London’s Roundhouse as part of Wayne McGregor’s +/- Human. The studio’s work has also formed part of the Lichtsicht Biennale (2015), Ruhrtriennale (2013), and Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art (2011). Solo presentations of their work were exhibited at Lunds konsthall, Sweden (2014), Carpenters Workshop Gallery, Paris (2012), and Pace Gallery, New York (2016). Their work is in the collections of MoMA, Sharjah Art Foundation, YUZ Museum, LACMA and V&A, where their Swarm Study / III is on long-term display.
