Haluaisin tänne / I would like to see here more

Haluaisin tänne

The need to raise questions and express feelings is in everyone, but it's not often possible to represent them in public as the spaces become more and more commercial and the intentions of self-expression are considered mostly illegal.

The project is about bringing alive and visible the voices of people who use certain spaces in Espoon keskus every day.

The project was made by collecting information from different groups of local people with posters asking "what would you like to see here more?" The people had a couple of days to answer. The answers were collected and made into phrases, that were projected on the ground in Espoonsilta.

This is the video of me and Sanna's final work, the projection in Espoonsilta.

These are all the texts that were projected.

Thank you for the course! We learned some new ways of thinking and would like to try this video projection thing again with more time.

Question about Media Project at Taik.

Hi Andy,
could you, please, post more information about mentioned media workshop/project/exhibition, which is gonna happend in May at Taik. Just to have enough time for preparation.

Thank you so much.

Don`t overlook!

In my work I try to respond to the fact that is happening (not only) in Espoo city urban space, and it is, that people who live in one community/society, overlook each other, do not care about one another, despite of the fact, that action and behavior of other people has the same impact on our lives as our own actions. And especially young people, who will became to be the future of our society.


The idea of my project was based on optical illusion, the artistic methode, which I started to analyze and use in few of my previous works. I try to involve around-going people, who unknowingly became a part of my work, participate on its formation, create unpredictable situations and their own context.

The project was realised on 20th of April in the coridor Entresse Shopping Centre during the opening hours of the centre. On the floor of corridor was painted two figures of young girls. In a view from one certain point they looked like they were standing and waitnig. This optical illusion was capturing by web camera and live streaming on internet, so people from social networks could watch it live and post comments.





































The reaction of the people in Entresse was different. Some people stoped for a while and try to analyse, but most of them just passed through two lying girls without any interest. The most interested was the children.
