Thanks to the fantastic audience that came to our concert for 104 floppy disk drives at Äänitaiteen Seura.
The concert took place on November 30th, 2024 and premiered two compositions: "sentient unconditioned interbeing"
by Juhani Vesikkala and my latest work "cycle of life".
The place was absolutely packed with an extremly attentive audience.
A great experience for everybody involved: artists, audience and organizers.

Visual artist Leda Vaneva visited me in my studio to record and film another episode for her
"The Visit" podcast series. In this series Leda asks creators how their path led them to the world of art,
what the role of the studio is for their practice, and generally how to survive being an artist.
Esteemed artists that have been interviewed for this podcast are among others Lora Dimova, Ana Gutieszca and Simo Saarikoski.

I´m absoluetley delighted that my kinetic sound installations BITS AND BYTES and the SCANNER ORCHESTRA
are presented and pictured in the recently published book "Suomalaisen mediataiteen ensimmäinen vuosisata".
This book is an anthlogy of Finnish media art´s last century. What an honour for me to be mentioned in the same chapter together with Erkki Kurenniemi, one of my heroes!!!
