As you know, one of our main goals is to bring visitors of the Signal Festival closer to domestic and foreign audiovisual art and its creators. In addition, we are also involved in the presentation of AV work abroad. Already at the beginning of this year we had the privilege to co-create the program of one of the most important festivals of light Lux Helsinki<\/strong>, which this year took place from 4 to 8 January. Our director Martin Po\u0161ta was elected to the curatorial board, which was for the first time this year in the international composition. Who did Martin introduce to the Helsinki audience?<\/p>\n

Visitors to the last two editions of the Signal Festival will certainly know two of these names. The Czech AV scene was represented at Lux Helsinki by our favorite local studio 3dsense<\/strong>. The hypnotic installation of EREBUS<\/em><\/a> <\/em>on Signal 2018 in Karl\u00edn Bar\/\u00e1k was created by them. In Helsinki they presented the installation The Color Out of Space<\/em> with a hint of science fiction and horror, inspired by the work of the famous writer H.P. Lovecraft. See what their conception of post-apocalyptic landscape looked like.<\/p>\n

The Turkish studio Nohlab<\/strong>, whose stunning video mapping of Space&Possibilities<\/em><\/a> on Karlin Square was one of last year\u2019s highlights, created a Streamline<\/em> projection on the dynamics of flow in the Helsinki city hall. Reflecting the viewer\u2019s relationship with the environment, this installation depicted changing and flowing fluids that continue to move even if their direction and shape change.<\/p>\n

Janne Ahola<\/strong> is the third artist whose installation Martin has curated. This representative of the Finnish AV scene created the Moments in drift<\/em> projection for Lux Helsinki, which was projected on a ceramic relief by Rut Bryks in the Helsinki City Hall. This installation, conceived more like a picture or sculpture, is an abstract depiction of the changing seasons.<\/p>\n
