Artist’s Statement
The intersections between art and science forms the artistic background of my work. My artistic practice focuses around interdiciplinarty Brains on Art collective. Brains on Art is an art-science-co-op crew based in Helsinki. We are focused in bringing the cognitive science in to the art scene. Installations affected by brain activity, pulsing sculptures, dialogue between art and science – that’s what we aim for!
Brains on Art takes the methods used in science and technology and applies them in artistic process. The art orientated project strives for dialogue between the two fields. The collective includes practitioners of art, cognitive science, computing science and electrical engineering. The background of our works is formed by our shared artistic reflection.
The collective has held four solo exhibitions (latest in Gallery Huuto, Helsinki 2017) and participated in several group shows including Art Fair Suomi 2017, Mänttä Art Festival 2014 and Frankfurt Book Fair 2014.
