Project: Light Cycle
White light streaks back and forth across black space at different rates, absorbed by the woman's face and then cycling outward again. Each flash and spark declares its unique presence through assigned sounds, sampled and manipulated from the original source footage. It is as if the light were the only living element in this fluctuating environment that appears blank and stationary. The initial illusion of motion reminds us of fantastical travel through space and time as we try to connect the visual and aural data into meaningful patterns of cause and effect. The "return" to our world makes us question what is more uncanny; the science fiction or the reality.

Project: Born Again
In this single-shot video, a gull appears meshed within its environment. Water, sun, earth and wind work together to transform its appearance and location. Combined, these classical elements create natural, yet surreal, imagery - like a dream or a fractured memory. Speed is slowed down to emphasize its movement. Sound, taken from the source footage, is manipulated to create a sense of displacement and to emphasize a shift in the event. Scale is altered to show that all change, no matter how small, is substantial. Size is relative, and major shifts within our world are overshadowed by what is larger. By showcasing this transformation, the subtle becomes dramatic. Nothing stands still in our world. From the gravitational pull on Earth's tides to living beings pulled from birth to death, we live amongst and within infinite events where everything is in the process of change.

Project: The Empathy Bomber Backpack
The Empathy Bomber Backpack is a speculative object designed for the extreme activists of a near-future as an empathy-hacker, where biological contraband creates a chemical metaphor of 'empathy warfare', or Europe's relationship with its own permeability. The project is a design fiction and performance that initially took place in the urban atmosphere of Turin, a multicultural northern Italian city. In the story, an activist wears an oxytocin detonating device as a backpack. She has a plan to asphyxiate the city with chemical empathy, inducing citizens to shed their assumptions and perceive new societal truths. If today activists use terror to send a blunt and devastating message, the activists of tomorrow have concocted a plan to go straight to the core of their intentions, to enforce genuine understanding through extreme measures.

Melancholy Maaret
Helsinki / New York
Project: Paper BUTTERFLY
I do not want optimism and blind hope. I want resurgence and triumph in sadness. Paper Butterfly is one of my most personal works. The text and performance are an embrace of melancholia and serene pessimism, of tenderness and perseverance, of the philosophies of Lévi-Strauss and Foucault. Our digital identities and neuro-aesthetic compulsions (our circadian rhythms and creative impulses) are inevitably disrupted by accidents of nurture, mood, and biology. No matter how much biology influences approaches to creativity, the scientist and the neuro-aesthete can only gauge the cortex's response to fear or beauty, not the enormity of impetus or the psychological engagement or paralysis of the artist or viewer. Science can never denude the soul need for an artistic confrontation, for a purging or a lullaby. Technology and the bombardment of multi-productivity can numb and satiate, disrupting the stillness and dancing required for plumbing controlled chaos and wreckage. Sadness, introspection, and mono-tasking may increase meaningful productivity, kindness, and creativity. Neuroscience now confirms what Scandinavians, philosophers, and artists have always known (osmotically and intuitively): The truisms of positivity and facile comfort, the conflation of activity with engagement, prevent us from growth, inquiry, poetry, and self-possession. Blind hope makes us strangers to all that is ethereal, magical, earthly, and profane.

Project: Sophie Taeuber-Arp's Vanishing Lines
In what is, prima facie, a mesh of abstract lines, no few of the works that Sophie Taeuber-Arp completed between 1940 and 1942 in her exile in southern France manifest a symbolism of war, persecution and flight. The compositions of lively, curved lines have, in part, something lost, floating, broken, irrational about them, which, in all Taeuber-Arp earlier works, would have been wholly uncharacteristic. In Taeuber-Ar cycle of works entitled , an aspect of DADA re-emerges – the (meaning-denying) art of refugees from war. The animation, which combines eight of her works from the039;Lignes; series with photographs from WW2, shows the connection and the discrepancy between Taeuber-Arp;s artistic activity and the world of war and persecution. The video thereby highlights a dilemma facing artists to this day, of making art in a time of injustice and violence. There is good reason to animate Sophie Taeuber-Arp's compositions, as she developed a striking number of variations out of the same basic elements for her series and because dance, movement and rhythm play an important role throughout her œuvre.
