#UniversityOfArts

Mia KivinenEvery second year there is a course on light art at the University of Arts in Helsinki, teached by yours truly (yes, I'm one lucky bitch). The artworks done by the students are presented in Lux In exhibition, an indoors part of Lux Helsinki festival in January. Let me proudly showcase the artworks of the latest edition! Let's start with Juurehine (made of roots) by Siri Haapanen, a gently rippling animation, oscillating between symbols of Carelian imagery, based on the artist's roots in Carelia. The matrix is formed of old photos of the area in dia slides, mostly collected from public archives, but including some of the artist's own family history as well. Most of Finnish Carelia was lost in WWII and the fate of the people who moved from there to Western Finland is a wound in our history, in many ways. The Carelian culture has been fading until recent times, but the young generation has started bringing it to the fore, with fierce and enthusiasm. Well done, young generation!

mkivinenI just came from <a href="https://toot.community/tags/MovingLight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MovingLight</a> course demo of students of <a href="https://toot.community/tags/LightingDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LightingDesign</a> in <a href="https://toot.community/tags/UniversityOfArts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UniversityOfArts</a> and I'm so happy I went! A mass of style, confidence and especially personality to be seen. Nothing was done just because it's possible (a very hard task with moving lights). Goes to show that technology is not the main point in lighting design, the exact same rig giving so different results with different designers. The course was led by <a href="https://toot.community/tags/VilleKonttinen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VilleKonttinen</a> and the snapshot is from <a href="https://toot.community/tags/IiaWalavaara" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IiaWalavaara</a>'s demo.
