Intro： My visual art practice has mainly concentrated on two complementary tracks. Moving image works that trace the unseen and poetic interactions between human movement and our surrounding environment, and purely abstract works that have been heavily influenced by the visual music tradition and my many years of VJing experience in the early 2000s. I received my MA from MediaLab at Aalto University School of Art and Design in 2011. I have been teaching video design, visualizations and spatial video since 2006 in various art universities. My works have been exhibited in various festivals around the world and more recently also gained substantial audiences through my collaborations with Axel Thesleff on his Youtube and Instagram channels.
