The Art Gallery of Ontario,
InterAccess Electronic Media Arts Centre,
and the Design Exchange are proud to present F2F:
New Media Art from Finland
as part of Tranz<--->Tech Media Biennial in Toronto 2001
As the datasphere becomes increasingly dense, many fear the
loss of face-to-face communication and, along with it, much
of what we think of as distinctively human. The exhibition
F2F: New Media Art from Finland includes nine wired,
participatory installations that explore the insistence of
the human within the realm of the machine and the influence
of the human-machine interface on our social selves.
The participating works and artists are:
Aquarium by Teijo Pellinen, Battle over Indifferent
Minds by Hanna Haaslahti, Hame by Laura Beloff
& Maex Decker, hit2Morrow by Kristian Simolin,
IceBorg by Andy Best & Merja Puustinen, mirror++
by Juha Huuskonen, Need by Tuomo Tammenpää,
Mother, Child by Heidi Tikka , SOB by Marita
Liulia.
