Kuopion mediataide ansaitsee j\u00e4lleen paikkansa valokeilassa. 40 vuotta sitten Kuopiossa rakennettiin suomalaisen mediataiteen perustaa Kuopion kansainv\u00e4lisill\u00e4 videotaidefestivaaleilla ja Kuopion videopajassa, joka perustettiin jo vuonna 1984 ensimm\u00e4isen\u00e4 Suomessa. Suomalaisen mediataiteen aamuh\u00e4m\u00e4r\u00e4 l\u00f6ytyy 100 vuoden takaa kokeellisen valokuvan, musiikin ja elokuvan piirist\u00e4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kun kyse on (maailman!) ensimm\u00e4isist\u00e4 Kuopion mediataidefestareista, on esittelyss\u00e4 suomalaisen mediataiteen moninaisuus. Festareiden n\u00e4yttelyiss\u00e4 ja tapahtumissa mediataide vy\u00f6ryy esiin elokuvina, yksikanavaisina videoteoksina, videoinstallaatioina, valo- ja \u00e4\u00e4nitaiteena, monimediallisina installaatioina, interaktiivisina teoksina, mediaperformansseina ja ty\u00f6pajoina mediataiteen eri alueilta. Festarit ei rajoitu n\u00e4iden seinien sis\u00e4lle, vaan mediataidetta ja tapahtumia on koettavissa ymp\u00e4ri kaupunkia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

N\u00e4yttelyn, n\u00e4yt\u00f6ksien, n\u00e4ytt\u00f6jen ja ty\u00f6pajojen taiteilijat on valittu avoimen haun kautta. Valinnassa oli t\u00e4rke\u00e4ss\u00e4 roolissa noin 100 nuorta, jotka sanoivat n\u00e4kemyksens\u00e4 ehdotetuista teoksista. My\u00f6s digin\u00e4ytt\u00f6jen omistajat osallistuivat valintaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Festarit syntyiv\u00e4t yhteisest\u00e4 tahtotilasta, osaamisesta ja halusta tehd\u00e4 yhteisty\u00f6t\u00e4. Festarit on
toteutettu KUMMAn, Muu ry:n, Valmed ry:n ja Ars Liberan yhteisty\u00f6n\u00e4. Hommissa on ollut
mukana my\u00f6s ANTI-festivaali, Kino Kuvakukko, Kulttuuriareena 44, Kuopio Digital Art Festival ja
tietysti taiteen sijoituspaikat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kuopion mediataidefestarit ovat monen tekij\u00e4n summa ja yhteisty\u00f6n tulos, mutta t\u00e4rkein
mahdollistaja on Jenny ja Antti Wihurin rahasto, joka on tukenut festareita my\u00f6nt\u00e4m\u00e4ll\u00e4
KUMMAlle kummimuseo-avustuksen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T\u00e4ht\u00e4\u00e4mme siihen, ett\u00e4 Kuopion mediataidefestarit palaavat vuonna 2029. Tutustu festareiden koko ohjelmaan t\u00e4st\u00e4<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maippi Ketola & Meri Hietala: Maippi ja Meri leikkii<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olemme aloittaneet kuvauksemme marraskuussa 2023. Tarkoituksenamme on ollut kuvata mahdollisimman videokuvan kaltaista kuvaa arjestamme animaatiop\u00e4iv\u00e4kirjaamme. Leikkimme on hyvin hidas. Vaikka lopputulos on l\u00e4hell\u00e4 normaalia nopeutta, kuvaustilanteessa maailma pys\u00e4htyy. Ei ole mit\u00e4\u00e4n muuta kuin pienen pieni liike, viiden sekunnin v\u00e4lein. Leikkiimme saa liitty\u00e4, muttei ole pakko. Teoksen \u00e4\u00e4nimaailma on toteutettu j\u00e4lkity\u00f6n\u00e4 DIY-foley studiossa keitti\u00f6ss\u00e4mme. Kiireisen maailman kansalaiset hidastavat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maippi Ketola<\/strong> on H\u00e4meenlinnassa asuva monialainen taiteilija. H\u00e4nen taiteessaan keskeist\u00e4 on tarinankerronta, ja teosten muoto m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4ytyy niiden sis\u00e4ll\u00f6n ja viestin mukaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meri Hietala<\/strong> on monialainen taiteilija, joka ty\u00f6skentelee performanssin, \u00e4\u00e4nen, videon ja ymp\u00e4rist\u00f6taiteen parissa kansainv\u00e4lisesti. Hietala on toteuttanut taideteoksia Euroopassa, Australiassa ja Afrikassa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media art in Kuopio deserves its place in the spotlight once again. 40 years ago, Kuopio helped lay the foundations for Finnish media art through an international video art festival and the Kuopio Video Workshop, founded in 1984 as the first of its kind in Finland. The earliest traces of Finnish media art can be found 100 years ago in experimental photography, music and film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As this is the very first Kuopio Media Art Festival (in the world!), the programme presents the many forms of Finnish media art. In the festival\u2019s exhibitions and events, media art bursts into view as films, single-channel video works, video installations, light art, sound art, multimedia installations, interactive artworks, media art performances and workshops spanning different areas of media art. The festival does not stay within these walls, but spreads out across the city through media art and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artists featured in the exhibition, screenings, digital displays and workshops were selected through an open call. Around 100 young people played an important role in the selection process, sharing their views on the proposed works. The owners of the digital displays also took part in the selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival grew out of shared ambition, expertise and a desire to work together. It has been produced in collaboration between KUMMA, Muu ry, Valmed ry and Ars Libera. ANTI Festival, Kino Kuvakukko, Kulttuuriareena 44, Kuopio Digital Art Festival and, of course, the venues where the works are shown have also been part of making it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kuopio Media Art Festival is the sum of many contributors and the result of collaboration, made
possible above all by the Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation through its Partner Museum
Programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We aim to bring Kuopio Media Art Festival back in 2029. Check out the full festival program here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maippi Ketola & Meri Hietala: Meri And Maippi Are Playing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have started filming in November 2023. Our aim is to film as much video like footage of our daily life into our animation diary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our play is very slow. Although the end result is close to normal speed, the world stops during the filming. There is nothing but small movements, every five seconds. You are welcome to join in our play, but you don’t have to. Soundscape is created afterwards in a DIY-foley studio in our kitchen. Citizens of a busy world slow down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maippi Ketola<\/strong> is an multidisciplinary artist based in H\u00e4meenlinna. Storytelling is central to her art, and the form of the works is determined by their content and message. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meri Hietala<\/strong> is an multidisciplinary artist, working internationally on performance, sound, video and environmental art. Hietala has created art in Europe, Australia and Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
