“The military images which I finally made in the city streets were internationally a subtle but unnerving reminder of something that is continuously going on at ground level; we make the weapons. People who make decisions about the defence industry live among us, even here in Helsinki.” – Oliver Whitehead

Pre-festival teaser: Eye Level

Friday to Sunday: Eye Level exhibition

Eye Level brings together the work of artists and architects Adrian Blackwell, Stefan Canham, Rufina Wu and Ossi Kajas whose recent work critically engages with representations of informally organized and contested places. The exhibition considers the way that photography and representative practices are used to create new opportunities for understanding these spaces beyond conventional planning or development visions, and how local uses and desires can be articulated.

Sunday 16:30/19:30: Eye Level panel discussion

The discussion will consider how photography and other forms of representation articulate the subtle interrelation of people and the environments they inhabit, and to what aim.

Both time and space are fundamental for Nu Transit. The act of moving, composed by all the single movements, each single movement, each single moment, all the moments, the act of passing through time. Einstein himself would have loved them. Wouldn’t you?

“For the purposes of talking about animation, aesthetics are simply any of the elements that make up the world of a film, the building blocks of images and sounds.”

David O’Reilly’s innovative short movies break conventions, play with rules, confuse and illuse: a bit of pure cinema, pure cinema on a bit. His images and sounds are made of digital blocks, each and everyone aiming at the beauty of being seen. For once, look back as a child at the adventures of a strange cat with eight legs searching for his parents.
