My new website is finally on-line. It is still very much under construction, especially the portfolio sections. I try to keep on adding new material more or less daily. Sorry for the incovenience and hope to see you here again.

The exhibition stand of Finnish Academy of Fine Arts was awarded with a prize of 5000 euros in PhotoKina held in Cologne, Germany. I participated along with nine other students. Read more from the Kuva-website.

Blast Theory is renowned internationally as one of the most adventurous artists' groups using interactive media, creating art that mixes audiences across the internet, live performance and digital broadcasting.
