Conversations of Our Time

International media art will be displayed on the media wall in EduCity in October–November. The Conversations of Our Time media art ensemble consists of 14 artworks selected through an international student competition.

The artworks address one or more of the following keywords defined in the competition programme: access, entanglements, glitch, material sensations. The artworks were judged by Taina Erävaara (KampusART artistic committee/Chair, Head of Fine Arts), Henna-Riikka Halonen (Visual Artist and Lecturer in Contemporary Art) and Hertta Kiiski (Visual Artist).

The artworks will be shown on the media wall in EduCity 19 October – 30 November on Tuesdays and Thursdays from around 11 a.m. The duration of the ensemble is about an hour. The works can be viewed from Taidon portaat (stairs), which can be reached from EduCity’s restaurant and the second-floor working café.
