Wearable Electronics course final presentations

Electronics and sensors allow artists to create interactive smart garments that produce sound and images in reaction to movement. They sense and communicate with the environment and the user, and may react to them. In some cases the garment is in connection with the Internet and exchanges information based on the data it has measured.

As the term ‘wearable’ suggests, these interactive artworks are carried by the user and in bodily connection with him or her.

The Wearable Electronics course has been organised during autumn 2011 in collaboration between Aalto University School of Art and Design, and Muu Artists’ Association. The participants who come from a variety of backgrounds such as new media, costume design, textile design, fine art and performing arts have been encouraged to create their own visions of wearable technology. They have worked in teams to carry out their ideas based on the Arduino development platform.

Welcome to experience these six unique projects – to see them in use and even to try some of them on.

Place: Muu Gallery (Lönnrotinkatu 33, Helsinki)
Time: Monday 5.12. at 17-19

Organised by Muu Artists’ Association and Aalto University

Teachers: Tomi Dufva and Jukka Hautamäki, and visiting teachers

Migraine.Paintings

I just added new gallery to my painting gallery: Migraine-paintings. They are new paintings from 2011 and will also be showed in Gallery Å in Turku, Finland in late fall 2012. Right now there is only few of them, but I will add more later on.

I also offer some of my paintings as prints, t-shirts and iPhone-covers. Check them out if your interested.

Wearable electronics-course at Aalto university

I’m recently teaching wearable electronics-course together with Jukka Hautamäki in Aalto university, University of Art & Design. I think it’s very interesting course with participation from different departments in university and also artists from artist association Muu.. You can follow the progress from our blog: wearable.mlog.taik.fi/ We also have demonstrations of our work at Muu Gallery 5th of december.
