re;Verse

2021
Helsinki

Algorithmic poetification of rejected grant proposals

Co-initiated with Ceyda Berk-Söderblom, re;Verse imagines a space where failed or rejected grant proposals are not discarded, but transformed. Using machine learning and anonymous submissions, the platform upcycles unproduced ideas into community-generated poetry.

Anthrobscene

2019
Espoo

Trash collage / Exhibition at Aalto / Materiality / Media and ecology

Planned Obsolescence is a policy of planning or designing a product with an artificially limited useful life, so that it becomes obsolete (i.e., unfashionable, or no longer functional) after a certain period of time. The work seeks to bring attention to the practice of planned obsolescence by reclaiming discarded circuits and repurposing them into unplanned forms of newness.

Infragraphy Vol 2

2019
Espoo

Student publication / Essay / Contemporary art / Circuit bending / Inequality

from Samir Bhowmik's blog post: INFRAGRAPHY Volume 2. is a compilation of critical student artworks and short essays dealing with the materialities of media technologies and their environmental implications. These works and texts are the outcomes from the course ‘Media and the Environment’ in the Fall of 2019 at the Department of Media, Aalto University. The course was a series of scholarly readings about and around the themes of media including media’s relations and impacts on the so-called Anthropocene, thermocultures of media, ecologies of fabrication, media and plastics, Internet of Things, Planned Obsolescence, e-waste, and media’s energetic landscapes. A key approach of the course was also introducing artistic methods and practices that could address emerging media materialities. The final exhibition of the course was a collection of student artworks as a response to the contemporary discourse of political economy of media and related environmental implications.

Department of Artsy Words: Predictive writing with A.I.

2019
Espoo

A satirical course catalogue, co-written by a predictive keyboard.

Created using Voicebox by Botnik, this speculative publication was co-authored with a machine-learning keyboard trained on real course descriptions from Aalto University’s Department of Art. The resulting text parodies the tone and language of institutional art writing — generating plausible yet absurd syllabi that reflect on bureaucracy, academic rhetoric, and machine authorship.

Curated by Shubhangi Singh and Naya Magaliou

What's going on Cladonia Rangiferina? [lichen microscopy]

2019
Espoo

Photography with Scanning Electron Microscope

The lichen Cladonia Rangiferina, changes its ontology across realities. It exists as myth, in the minds of humans as the beard of a mighty forest spirit. It exists as food, for reindeer. SEM is a type of electron microscope that produces images of a sample by scanning the surface with a focused beam of electrons. The electrons interact with the atoms in the sample, creating signals that describe the topography and create the image down to the resolution of a single nanometer. As part of my artistic research with Reindeer Lichen, I made a series of microscopic scans using the Scanning Electron Microscope.

What's going on Cladonia Rangiferina? [Projecting on lichen]

2019
Espoo

Lichen terrarium / Projection mapping / Student exhibition / Situated ecology

I spent about seven months researching and artistically engaging with the lichen Cladonia Rangiferina. There was a collaborative research phase - with students from Parsons University, New York - that lasted about three months and was followed by individual production. The research months consisted of discussions, reading, watching and thinking about ecology, the role of artists, ideas about control, and ecological relationships inhabited by humans and non-humans. An increasing fascination with glass jars and through some gardening tutorials, I learned how to make tiny terrariums. Aiming to keep the lichen alive, I made 7 experimental terrariums to test the ideal conditions suited for their survival. Terrariums usually consist of some gravel, a layer of activated carbon and some form of soil/substrate. After much adjusting of different factors like air, water and microbes, an almost ideal solution was to just leave the terrariums out in the snow, which preserved the lichen perfectly.
