Olga Stadnuk is an artist and designer exploring how technology can create conditions for attunement, toward ourselves, others, and the spaces we inhabit. Her work uses simple sensing and interaction methods, such as heartbeat and touch, to create installations that shift attention toward subtle experience rather than measurement. She investigates the space between data and feeling, asking how interfaces might support presence, grounding, and forms of connection that cannot be reduced to metrics.

Alongside her artistic practice, Olga teaches at Shenkar College, where she contributes to developing new approaches to design education, including explorations of sensing, spatial interaction, and emerging AI tools. She holds a B.Des from Shenkar College, including an exchange term at the Design Academy Eindhoven.

She has presented solo work in Israel and has exhibited internationally through the collectives she collaborates with, including Reaction Time and Connecting Stations. Before returning to independent practice, she worked as a product designer and UX researcher in a tech startup developing passkey-based authentication, a role that deepened her interest in how identity, trust, and bodily interaction appear within digital interfaces.
