Kruno Jošt, born 1973 in Zagreb, Croatia, studied painting at Art Academy Zagreb, continued studying "Free Direction" at Gerrit Rietveld Kunstakademie in Amsterdam, and obtained MFA in New Media Arts at Transart Institute, Berlin. 

Using trandisciplinary methods while researching connections between art and (its) environment, he works in media of sound, video, performance, installation, on-line archives (blog, video and photo archives and interactive works) and living nature. Jošt most recent interest is in environmental art trough connections of humans, non humans and technology. Themes he often elaborates are autonomy and systems.
