Sensory experiences from Finland for a Japanese audience
30.04.2014
Four interactive Sound in New Media installations are featured in an exhibition of new Japanese media art. The exhibition is held in the Spiral building, a shopping and cultural centre famous for its architecture.
'It's wonderful to receive an invitation to a professional event and have the opportunity to make our sound design competence part of an international event,' states Producer Pipsa Asiala.
The Sounds From Finland exhibition consists of four interlinked thematic installations representing different non-material aspects of Finnish nature and culture. Visitors are exposed to sensorial and playful experiences through audiovisual technology.
The digital technology installations were created by seven New Media master's degree students from the School of Arts, Design and Architecture: Jairo Acosta, Juan Duarte, Kirsi Ihalainen, Saku Kämäräinen, Ari-Pekka Leinonen, Johanna Rotko and Valtteri Wikström. The visual identity of the exhibition was designed by Kiia Beilinson from the Department of Media's Bachelor's Degree Programme in Graphic Design.
