The poster art needed to convey the feelings of immediacy, internationality and determination, and especially the principle of universal humanism to which the so called Occupy movement is built on.
In the poster the main lines of history of the movement is presented all the way to the occupying of Finland. Besides the poster acts as the timetable for the event.
AMBIENT² interprets the sound landscape of Harakka island in Helsinki into music into another language through a computer-abled generative process. We are born into a sound landscape to which we get used to through our lives and we take it as the familiar foundation, compared to which everything is strange and peculiar. It is about interpretation. When the same sound landscape is repeated as music something weird and unexpected is revealed. Video of the interactive sound installation.
Music created by the AMBIENT² does not strive to fit its tones into any existing note system. It re-creates the frequencies of the source material by synthetic instruments as a spectral musical application. The final result is a musical work which never quite exactly repeats itself. The composer is the observed space which creates its own tonal system. The music thus created is not aleatory but determined by its own rules.
The basic form of the music is defined by ambient aesthetics, and in this case ambient sound creates the ambient music and the borders of music and the world are seamlessly intertwined.
The work was part of the La-Bas -biennale 2012 and it was presented at the sound art gallery Akusmata.
Logo propositions and illustrations for website (http://www.aivovuoto.fi/) about brain drain and missed opportunities for the nation, who is not helping.
Occupy Helsinki organized a support event at a local bar. The event displayed audiovisual productions of the global occupy movement and brought the street atmosphere into a bar environment.
The humanist objectives of the movement needed to be separated from the classical leftist visual style.
The occupy movement is non-violent and all encompassing struggle against selfishness – the themes the poster artwork conveys.
Occupy Helsinki organised action events evening at a bar. I helped to organise the event and with a friend documented it. I shot and edited a small documentary video
