Media Lab 20 Years Exhibitions

The exhibitions featured a lot of works – some of which haven’t been seen for a decade or two – by Mika ‘Lumi’ Tuomola and the Crucible Studio team, where he was an artistic director in 2001-2015, e.g.: Daisy’s Amazing Discoveries (1996), Shift (2001), Tulse Luper Journey (2005), Accidental Lovers (2006), Turing Enigma (2008), Turing Machine set design (2008) & Alan01 (2010). He also co-hosted the 25 Sept anniversary seminar http://medialab.aalto.fi/2014/09/19/media-lab-20-years-anniversary- seminar-25-9-2014/ session “The Art of the Long New” that revisited hot topics from media art 10 years ago. With a group of Media Lab artists, designers and alumni, we took a nostalgic look at the expectations for mobile and interactive art presented by them in interviews from the year 2003. How have the visions changed in the past decade? Where is ground-breaking art to be found today? M-cult director Minna Tarkka & Crucible Studio’s director Mika ‘Lumi’ Tuomola hosted Heidi Tikka, Leena Saarinen, Minna Nurminen, Teijo Pellinen, Petri Kola & Pia Tikka.
