STUDENTS FROM THE ESPOO SCHOOL OF ARTS

SAMI KEKKONEN, BENJAMIN EKMAN & OTSO JYLHÄ (FI): INSTALLATIONS [2008]

We find that these installations, from the students of the Espoo School of Arts, are playful and game like when: in the blink of an eye we can step into a violent cityscape within “City Tour” by Sami Kekkonen, we are given the possibility to drive a car through molten lava streams in a 3D game by Otso Jylhä, or make fitness fun; by stimulating our senses and heart when controlling videos with a fitness bike by Benjamin Ekman. These students have been mentored by Visual Artist Riku Mäkinen.

THE ESPOO SCHOOL OF ARTS is an Art School for children and young adults, from 5 to 20 years of age. The School offers a wide range of systematically  rogressing studies in the Visual Arts. The School was founded in 1979 and has some 1200 students. Students studying Computer Arts are learning the secrets of an electronic brush while exploring within the virtual worlds.
