(Learning) How to Love the Machine

(Learning) How to love the Machine is a series of works exploring the relationship of human and machine/technology.  The series stems from the idea of creating the myth of the birth of the machine human

With the help of poet Eeva Maria al-Khazaali, visual artist Julia Kukkonen, and sound artists Robbie Gunn and Anna-Kaisa Vuorinen, the series saw it’s first iteration in 2021 at the Culture center 44, in Kuopio Finland.

The series is still on going with the next iteration looking for it’s shape as I write this in summer 2024.

Mind Like an Open Songbook

This 15 month journey led to a six-part series of works, 11 performances, 3 full performance scores, a two-week street performance tour on a bicycle, a piece of sonic art, and a short documentary.

The piece told the story of a 17 day bicycle journey from Tampere, Finland to Manchester, UK I ventured on in 2013.

The trip provided a perfect starting point to start looking into the themes of cycles, time, ends and beginnings.

The series was my first solo piece and it has been a defining time for my practice and reasearch into durational performance.

In 2024 Mind Like Open Songbook will make an appearance in the street events programme of Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
