Pekka Niittyvirta’s (b. 1974, Helsinki) work often deals with consequences of human actions, whether they are related to the society, technology, environment or the financial market. He mostly uses photography and video as a material in various ways to depict a situation or phenomena.
Niittyvirta’s works do not necessarily rely on traditional imaging processes alone, incorporating various digital, biological and chemical processes, they address such issues as the problems of technology and information society. Niittyvirta lives and works in Helsinki.
Timo Aho (b. 1980, Finland) works with site-specific installation, sculpture and intervention. In his work, he uses a wide range of materials and media, often including ephemeral elements such as light and air. His artistic practice investigates our environment through societal structures and belief systems. Examining the fine line between reality and fiction, Aho disentangles these topics with subtle gestures.
