I have joined a research collegium Embodied Eureka at the University of Jyväskylä. We investigate interpersonal synchrony and reorganization of verbal and nonverbal experience in therapeutic interventions. Experience is examined as multi-dimensional, interactive phenomenon that evolves over time and is constructed through both words and multi-sensory bodily sensations.

ARS17 Hackathon 9 – 10.11.2017

Collaboration with researcher, and developer Valtteri Wikström.

Kiasma and Microsoft together are organizing a 24-hour ARS17 Hackathon event. During the event, 8 artists and 8 developers will showcase their talent through a new interactive or digital creation.

ARS17 Hackathon emphasizes digitalization as a creative space in which interaction plays a vital role. The hackathon event combines artists and developers, promotes dialogue and creates an understanding of digital opportunities. It also offers participants the opportunity to experiment and develop different ways of working and networking among various experts from different fields.

Kiasma’s ARS17 exhibition gives the event an inspiring frame of reference. The new creations deal with present and future of digitalization, utilize new technology or embracing the Internet and gaming world.
