Cartes Flux vol2 – Terror & Beautiful Promises with Laughter 17. – 24.4.2007
The philosophy behind Cartes Flux is to bring fresh international New Media Art to Finland. This is combined with works made by Finnish Artists in order to provide the audience with the broadest possible view of what is going on with the New Media of today. Also within the Flux this year there is a retrospective of short films by Oliver Whitehead “works from 1967–2007”, an artist born and bred in the UK who moved to Finland during 1971. Whitehead is also holding an artist talk where he will show selected films, on the opening night of the festival Tuesday 17th April, 7 p.m. at Café WeeGee.
The screening takes place on Thursday 19th April, starting from 5 p.m. at Louhisali, Espoo Cultural Centre in Tapiola. Together with the retrospective of Whitehead there are 17 new works of international Artists presented with their Finnish peers.
This years festival brings also interactive installations to the foyer of WeeGee: “Laughing my Guts Out” – physically interactive sonic installation by Andy Best and Merja Puustinen combines strong physical presence with exciting interactive fun for the participants, the teenage students of computer arts from the Espoo School of Arts have created a virtual city of “Espo” and the students from TKK Helsinki University of Technology are presenting two captivating worlds “Metsä” and “Elämän joki”. These works are suitable for all ages, please come and enjoy!
