The artwork by Roberto Fusco and Emma Fält is a delicate dance of two processes—the nearly perfectly repeatable movement of a robotic arm, and the chaotic and complex recombination of sand. https://uusio.works/Work-Translucen Fri, 12 Jul 2024 10:35:19 +0000 Uusio Collective https://uusio.works/Work-Translucen Translucens (2022) Holographic projection on water curtain, soundscape. The artwork by Niko Tiainen combines theoretical mathematical forms – such as the tesseract – with concrete biological form – such as water. It employs non-linear storytelling, blending the Kulesho effect, where different images and video clips merge into one another, and the actual story is created in the viewer's mind. This form somewhat resembles the structure of REM sleep. https://uusio.works/Work-Between-two-trees Fri, 14 Jun 2024 12:37:55 +0000 Uusio Collective https://uusio.works/Work-Between-two-trees Between Two Trees, There Are Many Worlds (2023) Point cloud of two trees captured by terrestrial laser scanning in collaboration with remote sensing scientists Daniel Schraik and Samuli Junttila. Taking two trees – a surviving tree and a dead tree – in the central forest in Helsinki as a starting point, the video work by Sheung Yiu explores hyperspectral imaging and posthuman sensing of the natural environments in the context of the ongoing bark beetle infestation in Northern Europe. https://uusio.works/Work-Cell-Sculptures Fri, 28 Jun 2024 12:18:37 +0000 Uusio Collective https://uusio.works/Work-Cell-Sculptures An Attempt to Keep My Friends Alive (2022) Living sculptures made out of human cells. Artificial tissue, bioreactors, made in collaboration with bioprinting company Brinter and Biofilia laboratory in Aalto University. The work by Pekko Vasantola utilizes tissue engineering and bioprinting to create living sculptures of the cells of the artist’s friends. The work investigates cells and DNA as a source of biological personal data, and portrays people through their materiality instead of visual depiction. https://uusio.works/Work-The-Curious-Machine Thu, 27 Jun 2024 12:20:36 +0000 Uusio Collective https://uusio.works/Work-The-Curious-Machine The Curious Machine (2024) Live speech transcription, sound triangulation, and computer vision for person detection and tracking, custom hardware and software. The machine constantly searches for the next thing to look at in the exhibition space. It reacts to loud sounds, looks for the closest person to the camera, eavesdrops on people’s conversations and transcribes them on the screens. It fights for your attention as much as it asks you to fight for its attention. Installation by Sheung Yiu and Pekko Vasantola. https://uusio.works/Work-Eurajoki-leaf-NDVI Sun, 01 Dec 2024 13:43:41 +0000 Uusio Collective https://uusio.works/Work-Eurajoki-leaf-NDVI A Leaf in A Forest (2024) Hologram illusion, video projection. A fallen leaf signifies the changing seasons, but the information&nbsp;contained in a leaf is far more than just its color. Through remote sensing, scientists track the lifecycle of forests by monitoring their reflectance via satellite observation. This artwork features a hologram made from 3D point clouds of leaves collected from the installation site. These point clouds, representing both the leaves and the trees they belong to, are dynamically deformed according to NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) values—a state-of-the-art measure of vegetation density—retrieved from the Google Earth Engine.The artwork is inspired by Finland-based remote sensing scientists Samuli Junttila and Daniel Schraik who are pioneering methods to better understand the evolving conditions of forest ecology. The undulating movement of the point cloud reflects the fluctuations in vegetation density over a 20-year period, embodying the scale of technological observation that allows us to monitor Earth’s ecosystems. The same technology is being used to track rising forest mortality, exacerbated by human-induced climate change and bark beetle infestations.&nbsp; Installation by Roberto Fusco, Pekko Vasantola and Sheung Yiu. https://uusio.works/Work-petri_reconstruction Tue, 09 Jul 2024 09:21:37 +0000 Uusio Collective https://uusio.works/Work-petri_reconstruction Tracelessness (2022)Photogrammetrical 3D scene of a site of disappearence. Multimedia visualisation for Suomen Kuvalehti. The work by Petri Juntunen is a multimedial visualisation tracing the events leading up to the last moments and the disappearance of a person, highlighting the unresolved questions that remain.
